ANNAPOLIS — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Wednesday the state will ease its coronavirus-related restrictions for restaurants to provide outdoor dining and permit youth sports to begin, citing a decrease in hospitalizations and increase in testing.
In terms of outdoor dining for restaurants, patrons at tables must be six feet apart and no more than six people may be seated at a table.
Hours before Wednesday's press conference, Hogan announced that two more coronavirus testing sites will open this week in Prince George's County, a majority-Black jurisdiction which has the most confirmed cases in the state.
Prince George's and Montgomery counties, located in the D.C. suburbs, are the only remaining jurisdictions in the state still issuing stay-at-home orders.
Meanwhile, Alsobrooks expressed frustration that state officials failed to inform the county that a state-run testing site in Hyattsville would be closed Wednesday.
