For Immediate Release: Thursday, November 4, 2021
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.
At today’s media briefing, Council President Tom Hucker stated that if the amendment was approved, the mask mandate would go back into effect on Tuesday, November 9. 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.
Press Release Per the State of Maryland:
ANNAPOLIS, MD—Following final CDC approval, Governor Larry Hogan today (Monday) announced the updated status of COVID-19 booster shot eligibility in the State of Maryland and the opportunity to mix and match vaccines. State health officials are strongly recommending that anyone with an underlying health condition or comorbidity get a booster shot as soon as possible.
Today the Montgomery County Council, acting as the board of health, made an agreement to end the mask mandate at 12:01am Thursday, October 28, if Montgomery County reached seven straight days of “moderate transmission.
On Monday, local health officials said the mandate would end at 12:01am Friday (because the county would still be waiting on CDC data to confirm the trend).
