I am strongly reminding everyone that under Governor Hogan’s current order, it is required, not recommended, it is required, that face coverings be worn in these situations:
  • For customers over the age of 9 in any retail or food establishment

  • Staff and employees in food establishments who interact with customers including delivery personnel
  • Riders and operators on public transportation

  • Personal services including salons, tanning, tattoos, massage parlors
