County officials authorized the ban last week, citing upticks in infections, hospitalizations and deaths attributable to COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cited a link between indoor dining and the spread of the disease.
With more than 900,000 residents, Prince George’s County is the second most populous jurisdiction in Maryland and has recorded more COVID-19 cases 51,462 as of Wednesday than any other county or municipality.
The lawsuit was one of three filed last week by the Restaurant Association of Maryland and nearly 100 restaurants statewide challenging dining restrictions implemented by local officials.
The businesses joined forces seeking to reverse recent bans on indoor dining in Prince George’s and Montgomery counties, and a ban on indoor and outdoor dining in the city of Baltimore.
