Statewide Indoor Mask Mandate To Be Lifted After 70% of Adults Receive Vaccine Following CDC Approval, Vaccinations for Adolescents to Begin Tomorrow, Maryland Department of Labor to Begin Process of Reinstating Work Search Requirements
ANNAPOLIS, MD—As a result of the state’s rapid pace of COVID-19 vaccinations and subsequent declines in key health metrics, Governor Larry Hogan today announced the lifting of all capacity restrictions on outdoor entertainment, art, and sports venues and indoor entertainment venues and conventions, and all remaining restrictions on indoor and outdoor dining, as of Saturday, May 15.
The governor also announced that the state’s indoor mask mandate will be lifted as soon as 70% of adults receive at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
“Here in Maryland, our plan is to get everything back to normal by Memorial Day,” said Governor Hogan. “We are making amazing progress toward that goal. But once again, the fastest way to get rid of our damn masks and to put this pandemic behind us once and for all is for every single eligible Marylander to get vaccinated as quickly as possible.”
EFFECTIVE SATURDAY, MAY 15:
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR VENUES. Indoor and outdoor venues may resume normal operations. All remaining capacity restrictions will be lifted on all indoor entertainment venues and conventions, and all outdoor entertainment, art, and sports venues, including all ticketed events.
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR DINING. Restaurants and bars may resume normal operations, as all remaining capacity and distancing restrictions and all other limits will be lifted on indoor and outdoor dining.
CRUISE TERMINAL. The cruise terminal in Baltimore City will be reopening. The CDC is working directly with cruise ports and industry representatives to prepare for a safe return to business.

Shooooooooooot!

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Unvaccinated, unmasked, unskerred! Now if we can get our gov sissypants on board.
I’ve seen what your guvnah looks like. Like Hogan, if he caught COVID, you would soon have a new governor.
I would like to know the rationale for the 70% number. Why not 50% or 65%?
So I wonder if reptile and cat shows can now resume at the Maryland State Fairgrounds.
If he’s gonna lift everything else on May 15, he should simply lift the remaining mask mandates as well. Even the Centers for Diseased Control say that if you’re fully vaccinated, you can drop the mask indoors.
Who cares what that RINO moron says? I live in Maryland and I’ll do what I want.
And that includes not taking the stupid vaccine.
I agree, I just want to somebody to ask them how they came up with the 70% number. Why isn't 50% or 65% good enough?
Why don’t we just ask Fauci? He’s giving us a range of anywhere from something like 65% to 85% required, now all the sudden the magic number is 70 with no explanation as to why.
This is another one of those where they talk about trusting the science, until they don’t like with the science said because it doesn’t fit their mask wearing religion, so they simply ignore it.
“I would like to know the rationale for the 70% number. Why not 50% or 65%?”
************************************************
Probably because the current count of Maryland adults having received at least the first dose is 66%. That as “scientific: as they’ll get.
Hogan is a YES MAN for the Democrats.
Him and his wife made millions on fake covid testing from Korea.
He’s pathetic. Phoney empathy.
It’s all a joke. They are alluding to returning to normal but things will never get back to normal until the democrats are out of power.
Lockdown Larry can KMA.
