[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On CNN on Sunday, Hogan said they were already doing everything they could to prevent hospitalizations and deaths. Funny how in a day, they came up with some additional measures apparently not included in "everything."[/quote]

I thought we had heard all of the updates yesterday:

He did indeed:

[quote]TODAY’S COVID-19 ACTIONS

[b]Face Covering Requirement For State Buildings[/b]. Beginning Jan. 3, 2022, face coverings will be required for employees and visitors in all state buildings and leased space in all public or shared spaces.

[b]Paid Leave For Booster Shots[/b]. To encourage booster shots among all eligible state employees, the state will be providing two hours of paid leave for any employee who receives a booster. This benefit will apply retroactively: employees who present proof of receiving a booster will receive the leave. All employers are encouraged to offer paid leave for vaccinations and booster shots.

[b]Updated Quarantine Protocols for State Employees.[/b] The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) and Maryland Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has issued updated guidance to state agencies and offices adopting new CDC guidance on quarantine protocols for state employees, and allowing agency heads discretion to implement telework and hybrid work schedules for applicable employees while maintaining operations to continue serving Marylanders. Front-facing agency services will continue to remain open.[/quote]

Seems pretty thorough -- what else could be done?[/quote]
