D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday issued an order directing District residents to remain in their homes except to perform essential activities, putting some 6 million citizens across Greater Washington under stay-at-home decrees to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Bowser
issued her order at 4:30 p.m., two hours after Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam did the same for
all residents of the commonwealth.
Earlier Monday, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan issued a
stay-at-home order —
that one with the teeth of criminal penalties for violations.
