THREAD: #ElectionDay is tomorrow, and we encourage all Marylanders to make their voices heard in the safest way possible.
Election Day voting will take place tomorrow from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Election officials recommend voting between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to avoid long lines, and Marylanders should wear a mask, bring hand sanitizer, and practice physical distancing at vote centers.
If you plan to vote using a mail-in ballot, your ballot must be postmarked on or before Nov. 3 or placed in a designated drop box before 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. State election officials are encouraging the use of drop boxes to help ensure ballots are received in a timely fashion.

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.

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.

As of this morning, Maryland has 5,529 confirmed cases of #COVID19, an increase of 1,158 cases since yesterday. This virus continues to spread in every jurisdiction, and as I have been saying for weeks, the Baltimore-Washington corridor has become an emerging hotspot.
An increase in new infections is just one of the reasons for today’s significant jump in new cases. This is also due to our ongoing efforts to ramp up testing in Maryland, with more private labs coming onboard and the expansion of commercial lab capacity.
Today’s numbers reflect a tripling of the tests reported since yesterday. We are seeing commercial labs begin to clear their backlog of tests. More than 30% of the new cases reported today are for testing that was completed in March.

Today I announced financial relief initiatives to provide assistance to millions of Marylanders, including an order prohibiting lenders from initiating the mortgage foreclosure process and prohibiting repossession of cars, trucks, & mobile homes. governor.maryland.gov/2020/04/03/gov…
Nearly 70 of Maryland’s largest banks, credit unions, mortgage lenders, and other financial institutions have collaborated to provide additional flexibility to borrowers, such as mortgage payment forbearance or deferral and relief from late fees.
I have proclaimed a statewide moment of prayer and reflection at noon on Sunday, April 5, so that Marylanders can join together in honor of those we have lost, those who are sick, and the doctors, nurses, clinicians, health care workers, and first responders on the front lines.
