On Friday, Governor Larry Hogan is set to introduce the Maryland Strong Roadmap to Recovery, his plan to reopen the state of Maryland.  The plan was developed in consultation with doctors and public health experts and it will be a safe, effective, and gradual plan to allow the state to reopen, to rebuild, and to recover as soon as it is safe to do so, according to Governor Hogan.

The governor’s recovery plan has 4 components that he says must be solidly in place before lifting any restrictions:

• Expanded testing
• Increased hospital surge capacity
