Leonardtown
Community:
As most people are aware the Governor
of Maryland has proclaimed a state of emergency and catastrophic health
emergency to control and prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the state. There are a number of restrictions that have
been put in place on public and social gatherings. Many employers are choosing to mandate
teleworking, and today, sit down restaurants, fitness centers, bars and
theaters are to be closed effective at 5:00 p.m.
The Governor has specifically stated
that he does not want to shut down all commerce and therefore is asking small
businesses to avoid large gatherings over 50 people in their shops but they can
at this time stay open to assure that items that residents need are available.
The Town Council and I are in close
contact with the Governor’s staff and will continue to work for our residents
and businesses to ensure their safety.
This link is available to our citizens to answer ongoing questions. https://businessexpress.maryland.gov/coronavirus
The Town staff and
I will remain available to assist in any way possible.
Sincerely,
Dan
Burris, Mayor
