The Baltimore City Council pressed the mayor Monday to require all residents to wear a face covering when they go out in public to help limit the spread of the coronavirus.
The council unanimously passed a resolution calling for Mayor Bernard C. Jack Young to issue an executive order mandating everyone in the city wear either a mask or another kind of facial covering when they leave their homes.
Prince Georges County Executive Angela Alsobrooks recently signed an order requiring everyone shopping in county grocery stores or other large shops to wear masks. The measure also applies to riders on the county bus system. Officials in Montgomery County and Washington, D.C., issued similar orders.
City Council President Brandon Scott, who introduced the resolution, said Baltimore needs to follow suit. He and the council also are urging the mayor to issue an executive order requiring that all businesses implement social distancing measures and limit the number of customers inside at one time.

Yesterday, I had to pick up a few more items for Passover in Pikesville, a western Baltimore suburb. The kosher market halted all customers who sought to enter, asked them whether anyone in their home had any fever or other COVID symptoms, wiped their hands (or in my case, gloves) with disinfecting wipes, let customers wipe their shopping cart handle with one, and then you could enter. I was wearing a mask, as I do now when I go out shopping for essentials. Most people in the store were wearing them, too. I was glad to see that my shopping at this store would be safer.
Wonder what they would do if someone showed up in a white robe, pointy hat-mask combination, with just eye holes.
I bet there would be hell to pay.
I have noticed that Maryland police are no longer enforcing traffic laws like speeding, the courts are closed.
That's another reason this is so silly. Baltimore City doesn't enforce its murder laws.
Same in Harford County, MD for me.
In february, a woman was beaten by liberals because she was wearing a face mask.
In april, liberals beat a man and threw him off a bus because he was not wearing a face mask
Starting now, Baltimore Police, who won’t break up criminal behavior because they are afraid of starting a riot, will throw you in jail for not covering your face.
All of the courts are backed up to forever. Criminal cases, bankruptcy, civil suits. What a disaster..
On the bright side it is a fun time to drive my Challenger on the highway :-)
Allah’s revenge against those women who refused to wear the burqa. Now everyone has to wear a veil, whether male or female, or whether Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, atheist or Jew.
Um - if cases in a particular zip code are 7 or under it is reported as nothing
What are deaf people going to do....????
That's a VERY good point.
Ok, I cant altogether argue against this, however this one screams targeted.
Every time you leave your home. Really! If you go for a walk in your neighborhood?
Looks unenforceable
Probably just as well. NY 440 and I-278 are undoubtedly wide open nowadays. A huge temptation.
In Baltimore. not a good idea.
Too much crime and the police are hiding from them.
