During today’s media briefing, Montgomery County’s Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Earl Stoddard said that James Bridgers, the acting county health officer, has made a recommendation to the County Council to postpone ending the indoor mask mandate until at least the end of January, even if the county hits an 85% vaccination rate.
