On January 11, 2022 the Montgomery County Council sitting as the Board of Public Health will introduce a resolution to adopt a Board of Health Regulation to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the County – vaccination requirements to enter bars, restaurants, recreation centers, and other covered establishments.

 


Notes from the January 5 COVID-19 Media Briefing

-County Executive Marc Elrich discussed his experience with COVID-19 over the past week, saying his symptoms included a sore throat and waves of fatigue. He was mostly without a fever throughout and said his experience reinforced that vaccines prevent hospitalizations.


Update:

The Walnut Hill ABS store will remain closed through Sunday, January 9. Please visit the nearby King Farm store at 302 King Farm Blvd. Check the website before visiting the Walnut Hill store on Monday. Thanks again for your understanding. https://t.co/E7ISCfBm6Y


The Montgomery County Council, acting as the Board of Health, met this morning for a public health update and voted to terminate the existing Board of Health regulation that was scheduled to end the indoor mask requirement when Montgomery County reached  an 85% vaccination rate.  Montgomery County is currently at 83.3%.

The mandate is now scheduled to end on January 31st., meaning masks will be required until at least that date.
