Just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, Maryland is stepping up enforcement of COVID-19 restrictions during a time when people usually gather and socialize.
Maryland is launching a COVID-19 compliance team to further enforce these restrictions as cases continue to surge in the state and have no sign of letting up.
Marcus Johnson has been making the rounds at businesses all across Towson and the rest of Baltimore County for the last eight months.
He’s director of the county’s social distancing task force that’s making sure everyone is following the COVID-19 state and local executive orders.
“We’re basically enforcing the mask the facial covering requirements as well as try to encourage the social distancing I all types of establishments,” he said.
The task force has conducted more than 7,000 inspections and has found more than 300 violations.
They give out warnings to businesses that aren’t following the orders, then citations and fines to repeated offenders.
Now, they’re beefing up staffing and getting out more as Thanksgiving approaches.
“Anywhere throughout the county we’re going to be out, so although we may have additional personnel in certain areas, the task force will 100 percent be out throughout the holiday season,” Johnson said.
Maryland State Police will also be out working with Baltimore County Police in high visibility compliance units focusing on bars, restaurants and other places where people gather.
History repeats itself and the SS and Gestapo have re-emerged in America. Whats worse? Most Americans are letting it happen without a care. People are too sheepish and afraid to fight back which is why things will only get worse and more oppresive.
Bullship, middle finger to Larry on the corner.

oh that`s in baltimore county,that`s as big of shithole as baltimore city is. I just have one question will rioters and “peaceful” demonstrators still be exempt from the face mask “requirement”? i`m asking for a friend because he`s planning on doing some looting and rioting in baltimore county over the thanksgiving holiday and he`s worried that he might get busted for not wearing a face mask.
