Frederick Co. mask mandate no longer in effect as COVID metrics improve

Masks are no longer required in Frederick County, Maryland, under the board of health mandate as COVID-19 case numbers drop. As of Saturday, the COVID-19 case rate in Frederick County has fallen below 20 per 100,000 people. This was the threshold set by the Frederick County Board of Health. Because this metric was met, the mask mandate is no longer in effect, as announced by the Board of Health in a news release.
