Maryland's governor has a new message for young people regarding the coronavirus.

As other states pull back on reopening due to rising coronavirus cases, so far, Maryland has made no adjustment to its reopening plan. Coronavirus cases in Maryland remain relatively stable, though hospitalizations have tweaked up a bit this week.

Bars and restaurants are the focus of increasing concern as cases rise around the country. They are popular gathering places for young people in particular, and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan called out young people for not following the public health rules.

In southeast Baltimore's Canton neighborhood, several restaurants have closed temporarily after employees tested positive for coronavirus. It's a reminder of the stubborn presence of the virus as businesses in Maryland have reopened over the past several weeks.

During Wednesday morning's Board of Public Works meeting, Hogan noted Maryland has not seen the spike in cases that have occurred in other parts of the country.

"I still want to caution the people of Maryland, particularly as we head into this Fourth of July weekend, that this crisis is not behind us," Hogan said.

Over the past seven days, new cases in Maryland have remained relatively stable, averaging 369 new cases per day. After a month of declining hospitalizations, the number of people needing hospital care has tweaked up.

Hogan took specific aim in his message Wednesday at young people.

"Younger people seem to be acting and feeling as if they are bulletproof. Many of them are ignoring the public health guidelines. The infection rate among people under the age of 35 is now shockingly 52% higher than the rate those 35 and older," Hogan said. "All Marylanders should practice social distancing, wear masks and avoid large gatherings. Our long-term recovery can only be effective if we continue to exercise personal responsibility."

Rehoboth, Dewey and Lewes beaches in Delaware are closing bars starting Friday. In Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh has also closed bars out of concern of the spread of the virus. Read more at WBALTV
