Maryland Gov. Hogan not considering reinstating statewide mask mandate as some counties tighten guidance

The CDC on Tuesday listed at least seven Maryland jurisdictions — Anne Arundel, Prince George’s, Cecil, Wicomico, Worcester, Charles and St. Mary’s counties — as having “substantial” transmission. Dorchester County was listed as having “high” transmission. Residents in counties with substantial or high transmission rates are encouraged to wear masks indoors, as well as those with weakened immune systems or medical conditions regardless of where they live, according to the CDC’s latest guidance.
