District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser has ordered travelers from 27 states to self-quarantine due to a spike in new COVID-19 infections across the country.

Effective July 27, the requirement is that anyone who was traveling for nonessential activities who comes into Washington from one of more than two dozen states designated as “high-risk” must subject themselves to a 14-day period of isolation counting from their arrival in the district, Bowser said in a statement.
