Bethesda's outdoor dining plans arrive despite Montgomery County not joining the rest of the state in a second phase of reopening.
Montgomery County, along with neighboring Prince George's County, are the two counties hit hardest since the coronavirus pandemic arrived in the U.S.
Officials reported 12,734 COVID-19 cases in Montgomery County as of Sunday.
