'Social Distancing Is Critical' | Baltimore Co. Executive Johnny Olszewski Urges Residents To Stay Inside
TOWSON, Md. (WJZ) -- In Baltimore County, leaders are making sure residents follow the social distancing order during the coronavirus pandemic.
Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski said his team has investigated nearly 200 complaints, but have only had to issue two cease and desist orders.
"We will constantly be trying to flatten that curve to help save lives," Olszewski said. "Social distancing is critical, but also, if you don't have an essential service... we gave blood earlier in the week, we're giving out food today, but outside of those absolutely essential things, folks should really be staying home otherwise."
