BALTIMORE — Maryland state officials have established a phone and email hotline for residents to report concerns about coronavirus precautions being ignored.
The Maryland Emergency Management Agency, Maryland Department of Health and Maryland State Police announced on Thursday the toll-free COVID Prevention Line is 833-979-2266, or email prevent.covid@maryland.gov.
The hotline and email address are available across the state 24 hours a day to report situations of concern where prevention guidelines are being ignored and the potential for the spread of COVID-19 is high, officials said.

I, for one, welcome our new karen overlords.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
The Karen-snitch line.
hopefully they will get the same response NYers gave
Trolls will do their job.
(........it’s not the Black Plague.....!....)
Don’t worry. If it’s like ANY OTHER MARYLAND COVID SUPPORT NUMBER - nobody will ever pick up.
Maryland government is as useless as tits on a boar hog.
“Anyone violating the governor’s executive order could be charged with a violation of that order, which carries a penalty of up to one year in jail, a $5,000 fine or both.”
They need a revenue sharing deal where the snitch gets half of the fine paid by the culprit.
The DAs in all the big cities won’t prosecute the rioters and looters causing hundreds of millions of dollars of damage and serious injuries to hundreds of police officer trying to restore order. But they’ll put you in jail for ONE YEAR if you don’t wear your mask.
Who says there’s no justice in the world? Seems like a perfectly sensible order to things.
I encourage any well-endowed Marylanders to do their thing! :-)
Is this the land of the free and the home of the brave or the Soviet Union under Stalin?
The documents showed that people informed on their spouses,that kids informed on their parents and that PARENTS INFORMED ON THEIR KIDS.
It’s like the Nextdoor app...from innocent neighborhood reports on lost dogs to Karen Stasi “reporting” on businesses where they saw an employee with his or her mask down.
This is the worst Republican governor of them all.
“nobody will ever pick up”
Ain’t that the truth!
Establish the tradition of Informing. Who thinks these abrogations of the Bill of Rights will go away when the China Virus recedes. The precedent is set. “Emergency” can be declared about something happening or that might or could happen at any time.
A *blow in your neighbors cause they are not doing what you think they should* hotline.
Oh joy........
13 Aug: Head Topics: from UK Telegraph: We are massively overreacting to new Covid ‘outbreaks’
New research confirms that the Government’s reliance on case numbers is driving an unnecessarily draconian response
by Ross Clark
The Imperial College study published this morning claiming that 3.4 million people ( six per cent of the UK population) have antibodies indicating that they have been exposed to Covid-19 provides no great revelation. The Office of National Statistics (ONS) has already published similar figures suggesting that 6.5 per cent of the population has been infected. Nevertheless, it is yet more confirmation of how irrelevant are the official statistics for Covid 19 cases – and what a nonsense it is to rely on them for policymaking.
According to the Government’s Covid “dashboard”, updated at 4pm on Wednesday, 313,798 people in Britain have had the disease. This is less than one tenth of the number suggested by the Imperial study. In other words, for all Matt Hancock’s efforts to ramp up testing, the vast majority of cases have not been detected...
The vast disparity between actual and recorded infections matters hugely because the Government keeps acting as if the recorded cases do reflect reality. A small percentage increase in recorded cases in Leicester and in Greater Manchester led quickly to a return to partial lockdown in those areas. Daily, the Foreign Office scans infection rates in other countries to decide whether or not to quarantine people returning from those places. People and businesses are being put to huge inconvenience on the back of a small uptick in a statistic which is pretty well meaningless.
What the official recorded statistics on Covid cases are really measuring is the extent and effectiveness of a country’s testing programme. The more tests you conduct, the more of those silent Covid infections – the 90 per cent which would previously have gone unrecorded – you will pick up...
Leicester’s “second wave” came after mobile testing vans were sent to the city. When you see graphs of new infections on Britain you need to read them in conjunction with the ever-increasing numbers of tests being conducted – 15,000 a day in mid-April rising to 164,061 on Tuesday.
There is a moral here. If you are a country whose economy relies on UK tourists, don’t test more people than you need to; let those very mild and asymptomatic cases go unrecorded. If you are resident in Britain and value your freedom to meet relatives, go down the pub and so on, think twice about getting yourself tested – your reward may well be to have your whole town locked down.
