“The promise of a vaccine has given us a light at the end of the tunnel, but we still have dark days ahead,” Governor Hogan added. “We continue to urge Marylanders to take the necessary steps to keep people out of the hospital and save lives: avoid gatherings, wear a mask, get tested, & wash your hands.”
