It was a remarkable mixed-message performance by Hogan, speaking at an afternoon press conference in Annapolis, and highlighted his dual roles as Maryland’s governor, presiding over a still escalating local health crisis, and his position as chairman of the National Governors Association. In the latter capacity, Hogan said he and other governors would speak with President Trump in a teleconference call on Thursday, at which the topic would be re-opening the states’ businesses.

This process will help to identify any people the individual has had close contact with recently. The individual is in stable condition and will be self-isolating at home. In order to protect the patient’s privacy, the County will not be releasing any additional details about the individual. “Cecil County has taken a proactive role to address the threat that COVID-19 presents to the health of our community,” McCarthy stated.
