Governor Hogan Roadmap to Recovery Update

Governor Larry Hogan reminded everyone that he will continue to give local leaders the flexibility they have requested, so MoCo will make its own decisions, but is allowed to do the following:

Outdoor pools: 

Effective Friday, June 12 at 5pm, capacity restrictions at outdoor pools will increase to 50% with the same safety guidelines in place.

Gyms:
Effective next Friday, June 19 at 5pm, indoor gyms and other indoor studio fitness activities such as dance studios and martial arts, may begin to safely reopen at 50% capacity with strict health, distancing, and sanitization measures.
Malls and casinos will also be able to begin resuming operations, beginning June 19 at 5pm, with strict safety protocols.
State superintendent of schools, Karen Salmon, states the following:
School systems: Now able to bring small groups of students and staff into school buildings. These small groups would consist of 10-15 individuals at a time in rooms within a school building
Child care providers: May reopen, as long as they follow all Department of Health protocols. Class sizes in child care centers are now expanded to a maximum of 15 individuals per classroom.
Outdoor high school sports: May resume practice and training within the same guidelines that were previously announced for youth sports programs by the Governor in May.
Full amended executive order can be found here.
Update on what Phase 2 and Phase 3 will look like in MoCo can be found here.
