Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced Wednesday that all state coronavirus restrictions will lift on Saturday, May 15, but local jurisdictions won’t be moving to reopen as swiftly.

Starting on Saturday, all businesses and other activities — indoors or outdoors — can operate at full capacity. The only coronavirus measure remaining in place will be the indoor mask mandate, which Hogan said can be lifted as soon as 70% of adult residents in the state have received at least one dose of a vaccine. As of Wednesday, 65.4% of Maryland residents ages 18 and older have received at least one dose of a vaccine.

Hogan’s announcement Wednesday will make Maryland the first jurisdiction to lift all of its coronavirus measures. Last week, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said that Virginia could end most of its restrictions by mid-June, and will relax capacity limits on indoor gatherings and outdoor gatherings this Saturday. Entertainment venues will also be able to operate at 50% capacity starting Saturday. Earlier this week, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced she will end most of the city’s capacity limits on businesses and private gatherings on May 21. Bars, nightclubs, and large entertainment venues will be permitted to reopen at full capacity on June 11.

But not all jurisdictions in Maryland will follow suit with Hogan’s reopening. In the D.C. suburbs of Prince George’s County and Montgomery County, leaders have taken more conservative reopening approaches than Hogan throughout the pandemic, and have not followed in step when the governor made statewide moves to ease coronavirus restrictions.

Prince George’s County will wait until Monday, May 17, to lift capacity limits on most businesses, like gyms, restaurants, and places of worship, according to a statement issued by County Executive Angela Alsobrooks on Wednesday. Concert venues, large event halls, and large sporting events will still be required to operate at 50% capacity.

A spokesperson for Montgomery County told DCist in an emailed statement on Wednesday that the county will remain in its current reopening phase, with a 50% capacity limit on most indoor businesses. Further restrictions will ease as the county vaccinates more residents, in accordance with Montgomery County’s reopening guide. As of May 12, 44% of Montgomery County residents are fully vaccinated.

Hogan justified the bold reopening move with the state’s rising vaccination rates and plummeting coronavirus metrics. In the past four weeks, the state’s daily case rate per 100,000 residents has dropped by 64%, and hospitalizations are at the lowest point since early November of 2020.

As of May 12, the state had administered more than 5.3 million doses of the vaccine, reaching 86% of residents ages 65 and older. Hogan predicted that by Memorial Day, 70% of all adults will have received at least one dose of the vaccine, at which point he will end the indoor mask mandate.

“We truly are closer than ever to getting back to a sense of normalcy,” Hogan said Wednesday. “But once again, the fastest way to get rid of our damn masks, and to put this pandemic behind us once and for all, is for every single eligible Marylander to get vaccinated as quickly as possible.”
