ANNAPOLIS, MD — Gov. Larry Hogan issued an executive order Monday morning redefining what certain essential activities and businesses can still happen during the coronavirus pandemic in Maryland. The state has ordered that each law enforcement officer of the State or political subdivision will execute and enforce this order, and anyone who “knowingly and willfully violates this Order is guilty of a misdemeanor,” and if convicted could be imprisoned no more than one year and/or fined up to $5,000.

“No Maryland resident should be leaving their home unless it’s for an essential job or an essential reason such as obtaining food or medicine, seeking urgent medical attention or for other necessary purposes,” Hogan said in a press conference Monday.
