Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday imposed a new COVID-19 vaccine requirement for all 12 and older seeking to enter many businesses in the nation’s capital.

Bowser, a Democrat, says the mandate will increase the number of people who get a vaccine and help ease conditions at hospitals, where most patients don’t have COVID-19.
