Governor Larry Hogan‏Verified account @GovLarryHogan · 1h1 hour ago

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.

Maryland is planning how to reopen the state. But Gov. Hogan stresses much work remains in the present.

On the same day Gov. Larry Hogan mandated that anyone entering a store or using public transportation cover their face to protect against the spread of the coronavirus, he also said Maryland leaders have already started thinking about what comes after the pandemic.

Citing the social distancing and stay-at-home orders he issued last month and the “extraordinary sacrifice of Marylanders,” the Republican governor said Wednesday during a news conference at the State House in Annapolis that “we’re now in a position to move from containment and mitigation to plan the gradual rollout of our recovery phase.” Hospitalization rates due to the virus have shown signs of stabilizing and the state’s surge capacity and testing capabilities have increased.

I'm not one of the impatient ones, but there's a little bakery I hope can survive this, so will plan to 'contribute' to them when possible.
