The City of Gaithersburg announced today, March 7, that due to “low” community levels of COVID-19, as defined by the CDC, they will no longer require masks to be worn in city run facilities.
Montgomery County’s indoor mask mandate expired on February 21, 2022, but the cities of Gaithersburg, Rockville, and Takoma Park all continued to keep their face covering requirements in place.
Gaithersburg is the first of the three cities to remove the requirement.
As of today, masks must still be worn in Montgomery County Public Schools and on all public transportation.
The Montgomery County Board of Education will meet on Tuesday and is expected to vote for a “mask optional” policy.
With Montgomery County in the “low” community level as defined by the CDC, masks are no longer required in City of Gaithersburg facilities as of March 7, 2022. For more information please visit https://t.co/dNpkPs0lF7 pic.twitter.com/acTlMky7cl
