County Executive @Marc_Elrich says Montgomery County will stay with current guidelines because it is not safe to reopen yet. The County has the second highest number of #COVID19 cases in the state. #MoCo #StayHome #StaySafe 
It is important to be careful, @Marc_Elrich said. Nearly 400 deaths in the County. We are going to stick with the guidelines. Do everything you can to keep people safe.
We are going to do everything we can do to make Montgomery County safe, @Marc_Elrich said. Face coverings are still required. Physical distancing guidelines are still in place. Only go out for essential travel and permitted exercise.
I am asking people to be patient. We will change the rules as soon as the science says we can. Sooner we can get numbers down sooner we can get back to normal, the County Executive said.
"This is hard," said @MoCoDHHS Dr. Travis Gayles. "We appreciate your patience at home."
Dr. Gayles said metrics that are important for reopening will include sustained decreases in new cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
