Two of Maryland’s largest counties announced on Thursday they will follow the state in returning to commerce and allowing more social interaction in the coming days.
But their decisions came as a leading health care advisor to Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. (R) broke with the administration publicly, saying that the state is moving too quickly.
Hogan declared on Wednesday that Maryland’s COVID-19 health-use metrics have shown consistent improvement over the last eight weeks. The trends, he said, allow for indoor dining and outdoor amusement and rides to resume at 5 p.m. on Friday, and for gyms, indoor dance and martial arts, malls and casinos to reopen a week later, on June 19.
But a leading expert with whom Hogan has consulted waved the caution flag on social media.
