Vaccine, mask mandates to be lifted for Capitals and Wizards games at Capital One Arena

Capitals and Wizards fans will soon be able to attend games at Capital One Arena without showing proof of vaccination or wearing a mask.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Monday the end of the city’s vaccine and mask mandates, and Monumental Sports & Entertainment is following suit.

The vaccine mandate for fans at Capital One Arena ended Tuesday, while the mask mandate will end March 1.

The only coronavirus-related restriction at Capital One Arena, starting next month, will be for fans sitting within 15 feet of the court at Wizards games. Per NBA protocols, those fans will still have to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within two days of the game.
