WORCESTER COUNTY, MD- Deaths from overdoses rose in 2020 by nearly 30 percent or 90,000 deaths nationally.

OCEAN CITY, Md. The annual spring tradition in Ocean City of Springfest is set to return next week for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The cancellation of Springfest would go on to be one of many events to be canceled or postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, costing the town, businesses and vendors thousands in revenue.
Ocean City officials have been eager to bring back major events and with some changes and pandemic-related guidelines, many in Ocean City hope the event s return will signal the resumption of a more traditional spring and summer tourism season.
