Gaithersburg, MD – Troopers from the Maryland State Police Crash Team are investigating a fatal collision involving Montgomery County Police Officer, Lieutenant Daniel John Friz that occurred early this morning on route I-70 in Lisbon.
On Monday, November 1 at approximately 12:13 a.m., Maryland State Police responded to I-70 in the area of Maryland Route 94 for the report of a serious collision.
The indoor mask requirement was lifted at 12:01am on a Thursday morning after 7 consecutive days of moderate covid transmission.
Due to the wording of the Board of Health orders, it was announced that the mask mandate would return on Wednesday, November 3rd at 12:01am after the 7 day average surpassed 50 cases per 100,000 people bringing the county into substantial transmission.
The Montgomery County Council will meet as the Board of Health on Tuesday, Nov. 2 to introduce, hold a public hearing and vote on an amended Board of Health regulation to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Montgomery County. The amended Board of Health regulation will be introduced at 9:40 a.m. and the public hearing and vote is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
The amended Board of Health regulation, sponsored by the Montgomery County Council, would require seven consecutive days of substantial COVID-19 transmission in the community for an indoor face covering requirement to be reinstated in areas open to the public. The requirement to wear face coverings in indoor spaces that are open to the public also terminates when the County returns to a status of moderate COVID-19 transmission for seven consecutive days.
