On April 16, Governor Hogan announced that all Marylanders must wear face masks into any retail establishments, or when riding public transportation starting Saturday, April 18. These masks are meant to protect you as well as the people around you. While wearing the masks, and maintaining social distancing, we are all working as fast as possible, as a team, to slow the spread and safely reopen our state.
As long as your mouth and nose are covered, you can use any old cloth, scarf, bandana, or T-shirt to make a homemade face mask. Let us teach you exactly how to do that, or where to buy masks online to help the community.
