Governor Larry Hogan
@GovLarryHogan
Today we are announcing the first case of community transmission of COVID-19 in Maryland. The patient, whose case was first announced last night, is a Prince George’s County resident who had no known exposure to coronavirus through travel or an infected individual.

12:45pm · 12 Mar 2020 ·
The first case of COV-19 community transmission in Maryland means we are entering a new phase of working to mitigate and limit the spread of this pandemic. What we are seeing now is what we have been anticipating and preparing for over the last several weeks.

Governor Larry Hogan @GovLarryHogan
Today at approximately 4 p.m., I will be announcing to Marylanders major actions we are taking to protect public health and safety. The event will be streamed live here on Twitter as well as on Facebook (@GovLarryHogan) and Youtube (Governor Larry Hogan).

Hopefully that means closing all schools.

All Maryland schools closed march 16 to 27. There will be no spring break to make up lost time.

In positive news, I saw in one of the Post updates that the original 3 MoCo patients have all recovered fully, tested negative for the virus, and were released from quarantine.

Maryland now has 26 confirmed cases. No details released for the new cases.

Why aren't we getting any details like NY is giving?

Where do patients live? Where is the spread? Are they contact tracing?

I read that the PG county case had contact with the Georgetown rector.

This is my gym. They say they notified members, but I did not get any notification emails, although I’ve gotten other emails about coronavirus information from them. I checked my spam folder too.
