Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich Tweets Supports For Return to Phase One

At 12:48 this morning Montgomery County Executive March Elrich tweeted the following:

“Need to go back to Phase 1. We’re in danger of overwhelming hospitals, the projections for MD aren’t good -small steps won’t bend the curve in the right direction. We need the new Admin to get real assistance to businesses that bear this load. It’s not blue or red, it’s all of us”

This tweet comes in the wake of the second biggest increase in positive cases in the state of Maryland since the pandemic began (which also coincides with a record amount of COVID tests taken by Marylanders in the last few days).

In additional and not directly related news, Governor Hogan will be providing a media briefing at 4pm today to update Marylanders on COVID-19. It will be available to watch live on Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube.
