ANNAPOLIS, MD — Marylanders no longer have to wear their masks outside, Gov. Larry Hogan announced Wednesday in a move that follows new federal health guidance. Hogan also lifted all restrictions on outdoor dining.
The governor's previous mask mandate required residents to cover up in all public places where physical distancing was not possible. This included downtown areas and shopping centers.
