We cannot afford to let our guard down.

● In the public spaces of all businesses ● In outdoor public areas when physical distancing is not possible

● Local partners must step up their enforcement efforts ● Counties have the power to implement more restrictive policies

● Telework when possible ● Practice physical distancing ● Wash hands frequently ● Avoid out-of-state travel

Marylanders should enjoy the holiday season as safely as possible.

The most effective tool we have against COVID-19 is you.
