Starting January 15th, DC residents will have to make sure they have their vaccine passports before leaving home according to DC Mayor Muriel Bowser.
Starting this weekend, many businesses will be completely off-limits to anyone caught without their vaccination papers.
This includes bars, restaurants, gyms, night clubs, and most indoor entertainment facilities.
According to Bowser, before leaving your home, you must be sure to grab three things:
proof of vaccination, a photo ID, and a mask
Bowser shared a reminder to DC citizens on Twitter:
The actions of Mayor Bowser have set off a heated debate on social media, with many claiming this to be a major infringement upon the rights of DC citizens:
Mayor Bowser has declared a “limited public health emergency”
WUSA9 has more details on the the new vaccine status requirements, which go into effect Saturday:
Before dining in at one of your favorite restaurants, be prepared to bring more than just your wallet.
Starting this week, a handful of spots will now require proof of the COVID-19 vaccine before dining indoors. As the contagious omicron variant continues to spread, many local businesses are once again forced to pivot to keep their doors open.
In D.C., businesses will be required to check vaccination cards beginning Saturday, Jan. 15. The mandate will impact most restaurants, bars and gyms across D.C. as COVID-19 cases continue to climb.
“The places that will require them will be restaurants, indoor cultural facilities, indoor exercise establishments and event and meeting establishments,” Mayor Bowser said at a December news conference.
Starting Jan. 15 at 6 a.m., certain D.C. establishments must make sure their patrons who are 12 and older have at least one shot of a COVID-19 vaccine. Come Feb. 15, all patrons will need to have two doses.
The hypocrisy from liberals like Bowser is stunning.
They don’t think anyone should ever have to provide an ID to enter the country or to vote, yet they don’t want you to leave home without your precious vaccine ID.
