		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County is re-opening business and social activities to the fullest extent allowed by Gov. Larry Hogan’s limited “Stage One” recovery plan as new hospitalizations for the COVID-19 virus show slight declines in the state. But a cluster of new cases in the Warwick area has emerged in recent days and county health officials concede that long promised special state testing of local nursing home patients and staff is lagging. Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy announced, at a press conference on Friday (5/15/2020), that “Cecil County is ready to begin our reopening” and the county “will implement all of the facets stipulated“ in Hogan’s directive that took effect at 5 p.m. Friday. But he noted that “the county cannot remove restrictions that the Governor retains in place.” Hogan has lifted the “stay home” order and allowed limited re-opening of retail operations and hair or barber shops, under certain restrictions, as well as boating and golfing activities. Under questioning by reporters, McCarthy said he had hoped the governor would allow restaurants to open table services at outdoor patios or seating areas with appropriate social distancing. But the governor insisted that takeout ordering only must continue at restaurants until a later stage [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The COVID-19 virus pandemic escalated its destructive path on Thursday (4/2/2020) as the Maryland death toll doubled in two days and out-of-work state and local residents filed massive new claims for unemployment benefits. The state Health Department posted new figures on the number of confirmed cases Thursday morning, showing 2,331 Marylanders have tested positive for the virus and 36 people have died. On Tuesday, the death toll stood at 18, with 1,660 confirmed cases. The number of confirmed cases will no doubt rise significantly as the state, which was late to launch widescale testing, began drive-through testing programs on Wednesday at three Motor Vehicle emissions sites and FedEx field in Prince George’s County. In Cecil County, which recorded its first fatality linked to the virus earlier this week, county health officials reported early Thursday afternoon that the number of confirmed cases of the virus stood at 23. The state Health Department’s report, posted several hours earlier, listed Cecil’s figure as 20 cases. The statewide report generally lags local county figures by a day or more. Meanwhile, 84,230 Marylanders filed new unemployment claims last week, according to numbers released Thursday by Maryland’s Department of Labor&#8211; almost double the number of people [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The COVID-19 pandemic is expanding rapidly across Maryland, as the number of confirmed cases more than doubled in Cecil County—growing from 4 to 9 confirmed cases&#8211; and grew exponentially statewide in just a day. The economic toll of the virus also made its first measurable impact, with soaring applications for jobless benefits in the state and locally, due to business closings related to the virus. On Thursday (3/26/2020) morning, the state Department of Health posted updated numbers for confirmed cases of the COVID-19 virus statewide and by county locations. Those figures listed 580 confirmed cases of COVID-19—an increase of 157 new cases over the previous day, for the largest one-day increase so far. “We are only at the beginning of this crisis, in our state, in the National Capital Region, and in America, said Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. “As I have repeatedly stressed, we should continue to expect the number of cases to dramatically and rapidly rise.” . “This battle is going to be much harder, take much longer, and be much worse than almost anyone comprehends. We have never faced anything like this ever before, and I continue to urge the people of our state to stay in place [&#8230;]]]></description>
