Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It’s Tuesday, March 17 and today we are celebrating but in a socially distant fashion. Here are five things worth knowing in Montgomery County.
1. Bars, Restaurants, Movie Theaters, Gyms Closed: On Monday, Gov. Larry Hogan announced executive action to close all bars, restaurants, movie theaters, and gyms in the state of Maryland to prevent the spread of coronavirus. However, Hogan said, “Essential services such as grocery stores, food delivery, pharmacies, banks, gas stations, and other essential services” are still open.

5. Did You Know?: Practicing social distancing is an opportunity to go through old papers and did you know that Montgomery County accepts shredded paper as a recyclable?
Did you know that shredded paper is recyclable in our mixed paper recycling program? Simply put shredded paper into a paper bag and place it in your mixed paper recycling cart or place it next to your blue bin. #paperrecycling #shreddedpaper https://t.co/4DAXsbg1Ti pic.twitter.com/6Ti1LNxG93
