The Montgomery County Council will introduce, hold a public hearing, and vote on the following Executive Order beginning at 11:00 am on Tuesday, August 4, 2020:

Introduction/Public Hearing/Action - Approval of Executive Order No. 87-20, COVID-19 Local Order – Amending and Restating Order dated June 19, 2020. On July 29, 2020, Governor Hogan issued State Executive Order 20-07-29-01, renewing the authority previously given Maryland counties to continue to impose more restrictive limitations on business and personal activities in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Some of the changes from prior Executive Orders include:

Food service establishments would be required to cease service of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at 10:00 pm (except for carryout). Food service may continue after 10:00 pm.

The distinction between youth and adult sports would be removed. Only the play of low-risk and medium-risk youth and adult sports would continue to be permitted.

Religious facilities would continue to be permitted to open to the general public for indoor and outdoor services provided compliance with the following: one participant (or one household group) for every 200 sq. ft of religious ceremony space; and the number of outdoor service participants could not exceed 150 participants without a waiver.

Food courts located inside indoor malls would be limited to carry-out services only; dining at tables or other spaces in food courts must be removed. Malls would be required to remove tables, chairs, benches, or any other items which could encourage congregating from food courts and other indoor areas outside of retail stores.

Only the play of low-risk and medium-risk youth and adult sports would continue to be permitted. What meets their definition of low or medium risk? I'm guessing hearing may be postponed due to weather.

I hope Elrich rolls it all the way back to a full lockdown.

The people of MoCo deserve to fully enjoy the petty tyrant they elected.

I know you’re being sarcastic but a full lockdown IS needed because cases keep increasing. If we do one more big lockdown that might buy us enough time after reopening until a vaccine.

Would love a full lockdown to get our number of cases down to a very low level— low enough so schools could open in person.

and then a few people from neighboring states/counties will visit and send your numbers back up again. Local lockdowns are pointless for long term control of the virus

You don’t understand science, even after 6 months of this.
