State Adopts CDC Guidance, Fully Vaccinated Individuals May Resume
Activities as Normal
State Health Officials Strongly Recommend Unvaccinated Individuals
Continue to Wear Face Coverings
Order Takes Effect Along With Lifting of All Capacity Limits and Restrictions
ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan today announced the end of the statewide mask mandate, aligning Maryland with new CDC guidance.
This order will take effect Saturday, May 15, along with the lifting of all capacity limits and restrictions that the governor announced earlier this week.
“Today is the day that so many of us have been waiting for and working toward,” said Governor Hogan. “We finally do clearly see the light at the end of that tunnel. Our long, hard-fought battle against the worst global pandemic in more than a century is finally nearing an end. As we reflect on the hard work and the many sacrifices that it has taken to finally reach this point, we say thank you to the countless Marylanders who helped us get here.”
In alignment with CDC guidance, face coverings will still be required on public transportation, and in schools, child care and health care settings.
The Maryland Department of Health has issued a public health advisory strongly recommending that all non-vaccinated individuals over the age of 2 years continue to wear face coverings in all indoor settings and in outdoor settings where physical distancing cannot be maintained.
Private businesses and workplaces are free to put in place their own policies or guidance. Local jurisdictions are free to use their own emergency powers on these matters.

Just so you know. Acme in Salisbury still wants to dictate how you live your life, so masks required. Not at Food Lion or Wal Mart. Think we should let Acme know who calls the shots here. Boycott Acme!!!!
Meow…only short term. Remember, litigation is behind most moves. Why? The world we live in. This too shall past.
Love rather than hate, especially since it takes less energy to do so.
No vaccine for me, thanks very much… Experimental….many problems, doesn’t keep you from getting the ‘Vid….. not going to chance it for something that 99.9% recover from if they get it…. better odds than the flu
Have never taken a flu shot and will not take these shots. To experimental for me with my allergies. I have in fact taken pneumonia shot with no side effects. That is suppose to be for lungs so I do not feel I need this shot too because that is what it is for also (the lungs). God has let me survive cancer in the last two years and there must have been a reason so I will leave it in his hands, not the government who is telling one lie right after another.
