Maryland's health department on Friday announced a potential risk of exposure to the new coronavirus at a retirement community in Rockville.

One of the three people who has been confirmed in Maryland to have the COVID-19 virus attended at gathering at The Village at Rockville Feb. 28, Gov. Larry Hogan said at a news conference.

The time period of risk of exposure was from noon to 6 p.m. that day, the governor said. Between 70 and 100 people who attended the event may be at some risk for acquiring COVID-19, Hogan said.

A woman whose 89-year-old father lives at the retirement community said she and her 12-year-old daughter were visiting Friday evening when they heard Hogan warn of the possible risk on the news.

“I’m in my father’s room, he’s eating his dinner, he’s a double amputee, he’s 89 years old,” Peggy Weldon said. “And on comes Gov. Hogan to make the announcement. I’m sitting there with my 12-year-old daughter, and we hear Gov. Hogan say, ‘The Villages at Rockville.’ I go and talk to the nurse staff. They weren’t aware of it. I told them. I said, ‘You folks need to have masks.’”[/quote]

As older parents, this is one of my main concerns.  I a 60 and my husband 65 with a middle schooler.[/quote]

Coronavirus was a hot topic when they went on the cruise - 1 has been to a private event in PA that precipitated the closure of 5 schools for deep cleaning in Bucks County PA. Philly estimates 400k in free meals not prepared at school sites for closures. MOCO? Bring students from closed schools to central sites for free meals.

Bottom line is Bucks County PA closed 5 schools, planned deep cleaning, notified all while MOCO diddled away. MOCO knew about it by 3/5/20 - how hard was it to get basic info like the nursing home?  Is MOCO to PC compared to Bucks that I can't behave sensibly with this virus? https://www.mymcmedia.org/elrich-to-offer-update-on-montgomery-county-coronavirus-cases-friday-morning/[/quote]
