BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore City will move fully into phase 2 of its reopening plan on Tuesday, September 8 at 5 p.m.
Baltimore Mayor Jack Young made the announcement during a press conference Friday.

“I know that the government announced the state would be moving to phase 3 at 5 p.m. today,” Young said. “While some parts of the state may feel ready to move fully into phase three that is not the case for the city of Baltimore. Right now, we want to focus on harm reduction and public health safety for the holiday weekend.”
