Stay-home order issued in Maryland amid coronavirus

https://www.wbaltv.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-maryland-stay-home-directive/31977340

The executive order took effect at 8 p.m. Monday.

"This virus is spreading rapidly and exponentially," Hogan said. "We are no longer asking or suggesting that Marylanders stay home, we are directing them to do so."

Anyone who violates the order will be guilty of a misdemeanor that carries a possible sentence of up to one year in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
