On Thursday, the state of emergency was lifted in Maryland and all covid-related restrictions have been lifted.
More than 3.4 million Maryland adults are fully vaccinated. State officials also reported that the state positivity went up slightly to 0.57%
Hospitalizations decreased to 97. It's the lowest number on record. Of those hospitalized, 66 remain in acute care and 31 remain in the ICU.

"As we enter the holiday weekend, all of our health metrics are at or near record lows, and we are approaching 75% of adults vaccinated," said Governor Larry Hogan. "There are still two days left to get vaccinated to be eligible for our $2 million Vax Cash Promotion—including the $400,000 grand prize drawing on July 4th."

The state began to administer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine again in April, after the CDC and FDA lifted their pause on the vaccine due to a rare blood clot found in some women.

The state reported 74.8% of all adults in Maryland have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
