The Montgomery County Council, acting as the Board of Health, meets tomorrow (Tuesday) to vote on an amended version of the mask mandate. The changes would reinstitute the mandate after seven straight days of “substantial transmission”, which is 50 or above cases per 100,000 residents.

As of Monday, there have been four consecutive days where the case rate has been above 50. The seventh consecutive day would technically be November 5, but there is a four-day grace period to allow numbers to be confirmed with CDC data.
