Governor Hogan held a press conference to detail Maryland’s long-term COVID-19 preparedness plan. The plan builds on the successful data-driven strategies that the state implemented throughout the pandemic. Governor Hogan’s proactive approach is another example of why Maryland’s COVID-19 response has consistently ranked among the best in the nation. As far back as early February 2020, while most leaders across the country failed to focus on the challenge of the pandemic, Governor Hogan was preparing Maryland and the nation’s governors, arranging an unprecedented meeting in Washington for a bipartisan group of more than 25 U.S. governors to be briefed from the top public health experts in the federal government. |
