This crisis has revealed our nation’s true character. We trust facts and science. We show remarkable courage in the face of grave threats. We make extraordinary sacrifices for one another.

On #TeacherAppreciationDay, I want to again thank Maryland’s dedicated educators and child care providers for keeping our students safe and learning during this difficult time. Your perseverance, ingenuity, and compassion make me proud to be your governor. #ThankATeacher
We want to take a moment to shout out the BARS DROPPED by the FIRST Inaugural Youth Poet Laureate of the United States 🇺🇸: @AmandaSCGorman.
Amanda, thank you so much for joining us last night with @Oprah and @johnkrasinski. We can’t wait to see where you go from here!
Managed to run to a craft store before it closed at 5 yesterday, gonna take up painting! I may not be a @raiderrebekah but I can darn near try my best 😙💖
Even though our economy is taking a hard hit from this whole thing, I appreciate that “non essential” small businesses are following Hogan’s orders and closing down for the safety of their customers and employees. We will remember you and make sure to support you when you reopen!
As bigots blame them for the coronavirus and President Trump labels it the "Chinese virus," many Chinese-Americans say they are terrified of what could come next. https://t.co/7REdgT0wnI
Two weeks ago, there were less than 1,000 U.S. coronavirus cases.
As of Monday night, 40,000+ have tested positive in every state, D.C. and three territories — a sign of the virus’s spread and increased testing.
Here's what we found tracking the virus.

This reminds me how much we should value EQ, or emotional intelligence, within those in power. It’s part of being a representative of ALL the people you lead.
Just a quick reminder: PLEASE PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING! I know it might seem extreme and unnecessary to some, but it's actually very important. This is a preventative measure, designed to keep the virus from spreading.
Also take this extra time to get some new hobbies! It makes my soul happy to see so many people spending time outside! Get some fresh air and don’t be a couch potato 🥔 (it’s what the virus would want :( )
Hope you guys are keeping up on the news! All opinions on Hogan aside, he’s doing a great job communicating the danger of COVID-19 and putting a plan in place. Though the next several weeks will be difficult, it’s for the better of our communities. #letsyeetthisvirus
This is not early spring break, guys. This is serious. If we want prom or graduation or pep rally, we need to limit our time with other people. It sucks but it’s the best way to minimize the spread!
State Superintendent of Schools Dr. Karen Salmon announced all Maryland public schools will close Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 27 as part of efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19. More information to come.
