ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore will shut down indoor and outdoor dining this week to fight the spread of COVID-19, as part of new restrictions announced Wednesday by the city’s new mayor.

The restrictions in Maryland’s largest city will go into effect Friday at 5 p.m. Mayor Brandon Scott also announced that capacity at religious facilities, retail establishments and malls will be limited to 25% maximum capacity. Fitness centers, casinos and museums also will be limited to 25% maximum capacity.

“Baltimore, we face some difficult days ahead and we must all do more to reduce the spread and transmission of COVID-19 in our city,” said Scott, a Democrat who was sworn into office a day earlier. “These restrictions today, while they may seem harsh, are being implemented to save lives and to reduce the stress on our medical system.

The revised guidelines limit restaurants to carry-out, delivery and drive-through service. Indoor gatherings at public and private facilities will be limited to no more than 10 people in Baltimore. Outdoor gatherings at public and private facilities will be limited to no more than 25 persons.

The announcement came as the leaders of Maryland’s seven largest jurisdictions and Scott scheduled an afternoon news conference to urge state residents to adhere to COVID-19 safety guidelines in their jurisdictions and across the state.

Gov. Larry Hogan, asked if he was weighing more restrictions statewide, said Tuesday that data about where the infections are coming from and what actions might help stop them are reviewed each day “and so far we’ve taken all the actions that we believe should be taken at this point.” However, the Republican governor noted that “there obviously may have to be additional actions as we progress.”

“But we’re trying to balance saving lives and keeping people safe with also looking at the thousands of businesses that are closing and the hundreds of thousands of people that are unemployed, so we’re trying to balance both the health and economic crisis,” Hogan said.
