NOTTINGHAM, MD—The Maryland Department of Health on Sunday reported that there have now been close to 39,000 COVID-19 cases in Maryland.

As of Sunday, there have been 38,804 cases of novel coronavirus in Maryland.

There have been 1,876 related deaths, 6,993 total hospitalizations, and 1,460 individuals are currently hospitalized…an decrease of 40 patients since Saturday. This marks the fifth consecutive day that COVID-19 hospitalizations have either fallen or remained relatively flat in Maryland. The data in the charts below would seem to indicate that Maryland peaked on or around April 30th.

There have been 156,122 negative test results and 2,816 individuals have been released from isolation. Of Maryland’s 1,876 deaths, 984 (more than 50 percent) have been in congregate facility settings (nursing homes).

Baltimore County has confirmed 4,624 COVID-19 cases and and 232 deaths while Harford County has confirmed 687 cases and 31 deaths (editor’s note: for the sake of accuracy, NottinghamMD.com is not including deaths categorized as “probable” in these totals).

Last week, Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski announced that the county would not be fully initiating Phase One of Governor Larry Hogan’s Maryland Strong: Roadmap to Recovery.

Governor Hogan’s stay-at-home order expired at 5 p.m. on Friday and some businesses and churches were allowed to begin the reopening process.

Olszewski, however, announced that Baltimore County would have a “limited” reopening.  Gatherings are limited to 10 people and churches are not yet able to begin holding worship services.  While no stay-at-home order is currently in effect in Baltimore County, the County Executive strongly urges residents to stay home and to venture out only for essential travel.

Harford County, meanwhile, reopened to the extent allowed by Phase 1 of the Roadmap to Recovery at 5 p.m. on Friday.
