Ocean City, Maryland, leaders announced a new mask mandate for the beach town’s boardwalk, starting Friday at 5 p.m.

The mandate coincides with Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s expanded statewide order that requires masks at all outdoor events where social distancing is not possible. Masks will be required for the entire length of the boardwalk between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 a.m.

Those who refuse to comply with Ocean City’s order may face a misdemeanor penalty, but police will ask that an individual put on a mask before handing down any charges, according to WTOP.

The announcement follows Hogan’s decision to pause Maryland’s reopening efforts amid recent concerns about case spikes in the state’s younger residents. Officials in Maryland and Virginia worry that lax mask requirements and social distancing efforts in the states’ beach resorts could be the cause of increased positivity rates among younger people.

Ocean City made headlines when it reopened in May and unmasked beachgoers were spotted crowding on the town’s boardwalk and beach. The new requirement coming forth today is not expected to apply to people on the beach.

While Maryland is exempt from D.C.’s newest travel order, city officials have warned residents to take precautions when vacationing at nearby beaches.

“If [you] go to a bar, wait in line at Thrasher’s or Kohr Bros, go to Seacrets, or anything else besides masking up & social distancing on the beach and isolating in yer condo/hotel room/trailer in Ocean City or VA Beach please consider taking these measures too,” At-large Councilmember Elissa Silverman tweeted on Monday, referring to popular spots in the beach towns.

Some staff at the Ocean City resort Seacrets tested positive for COVID-19 last week.
