If a contagious or epidemic disease spreads at the nation's capital, the President can move government offices somewhere else. The President chooses the new location. The goal is to keep public business running safely.

When that happens, the President may allow and direct the removal of any or all public offices to another place. The President picks whatever location he judges to be the safest and most convenient for carrying on the government's business.
