Prince George’s County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks announced that indoor Mask restrictions will and by 5 PM May 28 for fully vaccinated people as a result of declining COVID-19 cases and increases in vaccinations among County residents.

Success in increasing vaccinations among residents has come in part due to more aggressive community can canvassing by county health leaders, staff and volunteers.

“Due to a continued decline in key COVID-19 metrics and increasing vaccination rates, we are now in a place where our health officials have advised it is safe to lift our County’s mask mandate,” said Alsobrooks. “I want to thank Prince Georgians for working hard to get us to this point in our fight against COVID-19, and we continue to encourage everyone who is not yet vaccinated to do so as soon as possible. Please remember to be respectful of those who choose to continue wearing a mask, and also please be respectful of people’s personal space as we adjust to these new changes after a difficult year for so many in our community.”

Beginning Friday, May 28 at 5:00 p.m., fully vaccinated individuals can resume normal activities without wearing a mask. In line with the State of Maryland and CDC guidance, masks will still be required on public transportation and in schools, child care settings and health care settings.
