[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watching Anne Arundel County Executive now:

New restriction for 4 week (at least) to see if actions help preserve hospital capacity. These take effect NEXT Wednesday at 5 p.m. to allow stakeholder input and to allow restaurant owners to use the food they have in stock.

1) Restaurants and bars - Contact tracing shows that virus is being spread here at higher rates than other business activities. CDC also said that people over 65 and those with health conditions should not enter any public place where people aren't masked. AA County will move from 25% capacity to takeout only. 
Will start Takeout Anne Arundel marketing campaign to encourage takeout. Some assistance will be provided for workers. Will also bring bill to county council to restrict fees that delivery services can charge to restaurants.

2) Retail - moved to 25% fire code capacity. County Exec. does not believe that this will have major impact on sales.

3) Fitness centers - remain open 25% capacity and every needs to wear masks. If you can't wear masks, exercise at home. Classes suspended.

4) Casinos - Live Casino - move from 50% capacity to 25% capacity with no food service.

5) Salons, barbers, personal service  - 25% capacity

6) Religious facilities - one-third capacity restriction - religious institutions said it should not be a problem - can have larger outdoor gatherings

7) Fellowship addiction recovery - 25%??

8) Social club facilities (Elks, VFW) - 25% capacity - no food

9) Organized sports - all suspended for for weeks (not just Park and Rec) - I assume this means that all the indoor soccer, futsal, basketball, etc. facilities are now closed.

Rinks, adult entertainment facilities - all closed [/quote]

This is nearly identical to Baltimore City order of yesterday, expect all the large jurisdictions to do so if hogan won’t [/quote]

Pittman specifically mentioned that the had the Governor's approval for all of this. The timing, hours before the Governor's presser, is interesting. Does it suggest that the Governor won't take similar actions?

If there is no state action, should we anticipate that Montgomery, Howard, Baltimore, and Prince Georges will also follow suit?[/quote]
