Governor Hogan is making a series of #COVIDー19 announcements.
Similar to other states, Governor Hogan is POSTPONING the April 28 primary until June 2, the latest possible date to comply with DNC rules. State Board of Elections will develop a comprehensive plan to conduct this election.
Maryland will proceed with the special general election for the 7th Congressional District, to ensure the state has full representation in Congress as soon as possible. Primarily by mail.
After Kentucky Derby announcement today, we are in active discussions to POSTPONE the Preakness Stakes until September.
Also transportation announcements: we are working on turning Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program centers into drive-thru testing centers across the state.
We are also taking steps to limit foot traffic at BWI Marshall Airport. Discouraging anyone from entering terminal unless traveling or reporting for work. Eliminating check-in lines.
MDTA will move to cashless tolling statewide. Consistent with Metro, we are reducing MARC service.
As chairman of @NatlGovsAssoc, @GovLarryHogan is asking @POTUS to extend federal REAL ID deadline for all states.
Next, @GovLarryHogan is reiterating #FlattenTheCurve guidance from Dr. Fauci and CDC. If you feel sick, stay home. If you’re an older person, stay at home and away from people as much as possible. If you have underlying condition, stay at home. #SlowTheSpread
We are also strongly discouraging PANIC BUYING. Stores are being restocked.
