Frederick County schools stop in person instruction after surge in coronavirus cases

The school system in Frederick County, Maryland, is taking precautions after an increase in local coronavirus cases. All small-group in person instruction and winter sports practices are suspended for Frederick County Public Schools, according to an announcement by the school system. Starting on Monday, all instruction will be virtual until further notice. Teachers can still use the classrooms at schools to teach virtual lessons but teleworking is encouraged. Students who need the internet to access remote classes will still be allowed in school buildings, according to the school system. As of Sunday, Frederick County has an 11.2% seven-day positivity rate for the coronavirus. Statewide, the seven-day positivity rate is just over 9%.

Distanced worship: For holiday services, local churches adapt to COVID-19

This Christmas, Facebook comment sections replaced passing the peace, offering was collected via QR code and hymns were sung over video, but the reason for the season remains the same. The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions have led many houses of worship to adapt how they practice religion. Religious facilities are capped at 50 percent capacity in Maryland by the governor and locally by the Frederick County Health Department. For some churches, Christmas worship was an entirely virtual, though still spiritual, experience. The Rev. Yolandra Johnson planned to hold a conference call prayer with the Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church congregation on Christmas day.
