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]

I am the PP who mentioned that Robert frost middle school has an after school club where students visit the residents. I just found out that they did go this past Wednesday. So more kids are exposed.[/quote]

Kids having symptoms are not the issue, they're the least affected cohort.  The reports suggest that kids usually manifest as asymptomatic carriers, which is the main issue.[/quote]

Can you point me to the evidence that a positive asymptomatic person is shedding and spreading?[/quote]
