(Annapolis, MD)  —  Maryland Governor Larry Hogan is expected to announce this afternoon plans for the reopening of the state.  Under phase-one, hard-hit areas like Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties will be able to delay reopening at their discretion.  Officials in those two counties say they do not believe they are ready to reopen for business due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.  Under Governor Hogan’s stage one plan, many small businesses are expected to reopen and elective surgery can once again be scheduled.
