Delaware has once again been removed from the District’s COVID-19 list of high-risk states, after being on it for two days.

According to a statement from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office, when the health department created the list earlier this month, Delaware met the requirements of a high-risk state with a 7-day moving average of more than 5% of people testing positive for the virus. However, Delaware’s Department of Health provided updated data to D.C. this week showing that its 7-day moving average of people testing positive was below the 5% threshold at 4.2%.

The District’s 7-day moving average of people testing positive for the virus is at 2.5%, according to city health department data.

Anyone who was quarantining for 14 days after arriving from Delaware between August 24 and 27 may return to their usual activities with the current COVID-19 precautions in place, according to District health officials.

Earlier this week, the City of Rehoboth’s mayor said being included on D.C.’s high-risk list diverted end-of-summer visitors to the popular coastal state.

The following remain on the list of high-risk states that require 14 days of self-quarantine upon arriving in D.C.:

Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Nebraska
Nevada
North Carolina
North Dakota
Oklahoma
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
