Maryland lawmakers met Wednesday and received an update on reopening businesses, new orders from the governor and the status of the state’s stockpile of medical supplies.
State Sen. Steve Hershey, a Republican whose district includes Kent, Queen Anne’s, Cecil and Caroline counties, told his colleagues on the Joint Legislative Task Force on COVID-19, “I just can’t emphasize enough that it’s time we start looking forward and start talking about economic recovery.”
The work group’s meeting was held before Gov. Larry Hogan announced his plans to work toward a reopening of the state’s economy.
Hogan said that while, “Everybody would like to know when we’re going to get back to a normal life,” it is also important to continue efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
