Today I provided a comprehensive update on Maryland’s ongoing #COVID19 response and recovery, along with @MdPublicSchools Superintendent Dr. Karen Salmon.

Full details here: governor.maryland.gov/2020/07/22/gov…
Dr. Salmon announced that local school systems will have the flexibility to determine how they will reopen. @MdPublicSchools is setting guardrails for reopening. All school systems must strictly observe CDC guidelines, including handwashing, physical distancing, and masks.
Testing and contact tracing remain critical to finding and fighting this virus. Maryland continues to make testing abundantly available as part of our long-term strategy. We also urge Marylanders to participate in contact tracing: If ‘MD COVID’ calls, please answer the phone.
I also addressed the ongoing concern regarding the November general election. We cannot repeat the unmitigated disaster of the June primary, which is why we are providing Marylanders with the most choices possible. We strongly encourage Marylanders to #VoteByMail and vote early.
I want to reiterate that this crisis is not over and your actions may help determine whether we see a resurgence of the virus here in Maryland. As we have from the beginning, we will continue to follow the advice of our doctors and public health experts.

At this critical juncture in our ongoing response to #COVID19, there are five urgent priorities the nation’s governors need the @WhiteHouse to address. First, we continue to call on the administration to extend the public health emergency, which is set to expire this Saturday.
Second, more than half of governors have already requested an extension of Title 32 authorization past the current expiration date of August 21. The National Guard remains a critical part of our public health response.
Third, we are pressing for a 30-day delay of any changes to new hospital reporting requirements. To demand these changes be made in a matter of 48 hours is unreasonable, and threatening to jeopardize life-saving supplies of remdesivir for not complying is unconscionable.

Today I made a series of announcements regarding Stage One of our #MarylandStrong Roadmap to Recovery. Effective this Friday, May 15 at 5 p.m., we will be lifting the Stay at Home order and moving instead to a Safer at Home public health advisory.
Some businesses and establishments will be able to reopen beginning Friday at 5 p.m. with strong social distancing and other health and safety precautions in place. Details: governor.maryland.gov/2020/05/13/sta…
We are providing for a flexible, community-based approach which empowers individual county leaders to make decisions regarding the timing of Stage One reopenings in their individual jurisdictions.

Today I enacted an executive order which will require the wearing of masks or face coverings when inside any retail establishments, including grocery stores and pharmacies, or when riding any form of public transportation in Maryland, effective Saturday, April 18, at 7 a.m.
It also requires all essential retail locations to require their staff to wear face coverings, and requires those businesses to put appropriate social distancing measures in place in order to keep customers and their staff safe.
While this order is an important step in our immediate efforts to protect public health and safety, the wearing of masks is also something that we may all have to become more accustomed to in order to safely reopen our state.
