Gov. Larry Hogan ordered the shutdown of all bars, restaurants, movie theaters and gyms in Maryland, effective at 5 p.m., to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

The governor said the unprecedented steps will be disruptive and “may seem scary” but said that “we have never faced anything like this before.”

“We should continue to expect the number of cases to dramatically and rapidly rise,” the governor said. “This is going to be much harder, take much longer and be much worse than almost anyone is currently understanding.”
