The House of Representatives is finally lifting its own mask mandate just in time for President Biden's State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Capitol Physician Brian Monahan announced the news in a letter to lawmakers returning to Washington this week: "Individuals may choose to mask at any time, but it is no longer a requirement," he wrote.
Monahan added that the rate of positive COVID tests at the Capitol had fallen to 2.7% during the last two weeks, below the current rate for the DC-Metropolitan area (which is 4.7%).
According to the CDC's new federal guidelines, Washington DC falls into the "green" category, meaning no masking is required.
