Elrich ‘Evaluating’ Hogan’s Phase 2 Reopening Announcement

County Executive Marc Elrich responded Wednesday night on Twitter to Governor’s Hogan’s announcement that Maryland will begin Phase 2 of reopening this Friday:

“We will be evaluating Governor Hogan’s new Executive Order and determining if any of his Phase 2 provisions will work with our Phase 1 policies and guidelines. With little notice and time to assess how the Governor’s new Executive Order will impact the health and safety of our County, we must be prudent in our decisions. Montgomery County has the state’s second highest number of cases, that is why we will continue to follow the data and science to ensure that our residents, visitors, and businesses are safe and we slow the spread of COVID-19 in our County and the region.”
