Some big changes could be happening here in Maryland starting Sunday because the Maryland House of Delegates requested Governor Larry Hogan extend Maryland’s state of emergency following the spike in Covid 19 cases. The state of emergency ended July 1st , however some things remained in effect for 45 days and that will end Sunday. So hopefully by Monday Hogan will extend Maryland’s state of emergency but we’ll see, of course as I get more details I’ll update you with that.

The Delegates praised Governor Hogan’s early response to the pandemic in the letter, but said: “this is an urgent situation that requires an urgent response.”
“Now is not the time to end the stated public health emergency – not only because of the limitations it will put on our State response but also because of the message that it sends to the public at large about the urgency of this situation, particularly as we prepare to send our children back to school,” the letter read.
The delegates placed emphasis on how the end of the state of emergency would impact healthcare systems such as adult care and Medicaid reimbursement for telehealth services.
