HEALTH DEPARTMENT DASHBOARD IS BACK  

The Maryland Health Department is once again posting COVID-19 updates on its online dashboard.  The dashboard had been offline for over two weeks due to a network security issue.  Yesterday afternoon, state health officials reported a ten-point-27 percent positivity rate, which is the highest rate since last January.  Hospitalizations have more than doubled in the past 30 days to one-thousand-345, and capacity is now at 90 percent.  Earlier today, Governor Larry Hogan announced he had tested positive for the virus but was feeling fine.
