On Tuesday, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced that starting this weekend, the state will lift all capacity and distancing regulations related to outdoor dining. Among the other changes: standing service will now be allowed outside and there will no longer be an outdoor mask mandate for those who have been vaccinated. When it comes to indoor dining, seated service and physical distancing requirements of six feet remain the same.
Still, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich announced that there won’t be such changes to pandemic rules in his county. Instead, MoCo will continue to follow the county’s Board of Health regulations and guidance.
