Hogan: Maryland to get 155K COVID vaccines to start

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said the current surge of coronavirus cases is burdening the state's hospitals, and he announced measures to ensure every Marylander who needs a hospital bed gets one. COVID hospitalizations have increased by 51% over the past two weeks, and according to the state's modeling, officials expect to reach a new record high for hospitalizations in the coming days, Hogan said. More than 130 surge beds are currently in use at the expansion sites we added in the spring.
