Schools

Maryland schools are closed through the academic year amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

“We did not make this decision lightly,” Superintendent Karen Salmon said, “however, with the challenges facing our state and our country we have a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of our school communities and the communities at large.”

“While it is too early to definitively say exactly when schools will reopen, we will continue to reassess the situation as we move forward,” she said.

Existing childcare providers can continue to operate, and must prioritize services to children of people with essential jobs.

Who is most at risk?

Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness, health officials report. 

Why so many older individuals have died because of the coronavirus, though, could be attributed to pre-existing medical conditions.

The WHO states that individuals with conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease “appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus.”

Generally speaking, as a person lives longer, they will develop more health and medical conditions than those who are younger.
