Fox News
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Tuesday announced that the state will lift nearly all of its coronavirus-related restrictions on indoor capacity of restaurants and businesses, travel limits and more, while leaving place the state's mask mandate.
The pandemic is "far from over," Hogan said. But improvements in vaccines and health metrics "have enabled us to continue to follow the science and to be able today to take significant steps to further ease more of the mitigation measures that are currently in place," he added. Capacity limits on retail stores, fitness facilities, indoor recreation venues like bowling alleys, wedding venues, conference centers and more are also lifted. Even with capacity limits lifted, Hogan said that businesses would still have to take some precautions. "Masking, physical distancing and other safety protocols will remain in place for all indoor and outdoor businesses and establishments," Hogan said.
