Maryland will lift capacity limits on certain businesses starting this Friday per Gov. Larry Hogan (R)'s latest order issued Tuesday.
Why it matters: Restaurants, bars and other businesses will no longer be required to reduce capacity, though customers must social distance and the state's mask mandate will remain in effect. Large outdoor and indoor venues, like conference halls, will still have to limit capacity.
