Ahead of the mandate in the District to require masks indoors regardless of vaccination status, some businesses are already implementing their own policies, including proof of vaccination.
Mayor Muriel Bowser said the mandate will apply to everyone over the age of two starting on Saturday. The decision comes as daily cases of COVID-19 have increased fivefold over the month of July, primarily among young people between the ages of 20 and 34, according to D.C. Department of Health Director Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt.
Several businesses including bars and restaurants in the city have announced taking an additional step. The owner of popular gay bars Trade and Number Nine in the 14th Street and Logan Circle area posted on Facebook that the businesses will be requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test from within the last 72 hours and a photo ID to visit.
The physical vaccination card, a copy of the vaccination card, a photo of the vaccination card or some other digital copy are all acceptable forms of proof, the businesses said.
The changes will take effect on Saturday.
MARK OF THE DEVIL in the last days states you will not be able to buy anything without the MARK OF THE BEAST.
Is this HITLER / COMMUNIST CONSTITUTIONAL violation marking the end of the WORLD spoken from the BIBLE
Why do these business think people want to come in so bad that they will do all this to visit. I hope they all go out of business.
didnt read the gay part?
A photo I.D.?? That means some poor people (mostly “of color”) won’t be able to patronize these places because they have no access to a copying machine! Let’s see what Kamala has to say about this!! ?
DC private business are choosing to do this……their call, their segregation of patrons.
The DC rule is masks in inside venues. Outside ok. Speaking of outside, didnt Larry on the corner end the MD outside venues last month? Hmmm, Ralphy in VA hasnt required any mandates yet.
No mark of the beastie boys 1116am. Just way too many unknowns about everything and “erected” officials just trying anything rather than nothing.

Businesses are in bigger trouble. Many of us realized we can cook mix cocktails and entertain at home through out this and really don’t need the drama of poor service and lack luster food and beverages and the expense of it all in mediocre social enclaves. It’s far more civilized than being seated and waiting to be slopped like hogs.
