MD Health Officials Want Tougher COVID-19 Restrictions To Return

County health officials in Maryland want restrictions on gatherings in bars and restaurants reinstated.

Health department leaders in Maryland’s largest counties, including Prince George’s, Montgomery, Howard, Anne Arundel and Baltimore City, have sent a letter to the state’s health department requesting that restrictions be put back into place for bars and restaurants over concerns of COVID-19 cases trending upward.  Governor Hogan says county leaders have the flexibility to make any changes to guidelines.
