“We want to continue to reiterate that it is imperative that D.C. residents use good judgment and follow social distancing guidelines for any of the new activities that they are participating in,” said D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has continuously warned that new coronavirus cases will arise with the phased reopening process.
With more than 10,000 D.C. residents testing positive for the novel coronavirus, and over 530 Washingtonians losing their lives to the disease, Mayor Bowser is emphasizing the continued need for COVID-19 testing.
Notwithstanding continued COVID-19 cases, as part of Phase 2, Bowser is opening more District agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), which will offer services by appointment only for required in-person services.
“DMV service centers will open for in-person services at all locations, all of the DMV service centers beginning [June 23].
Although service centers are open by appointment, the Mayor said many DMV needs can still be met online.
