Essential Employees in Maryland Must Carry a Letter

 

Maryland Stay at Home Order

“We Are No Longer Asking or Suggesting That Marylanders Stay Home, We Are Directing Them To Do So.”

This phrase headlines details released through the Maryland state website regarding the executive order issued by Governor Larry Hogan to Stay Home.

As of 8 p.m. on March 30, all Marylanders must stay home unless for an essential reason. Food and essential services stores remain open.

Maryland residents received a text message Monday night in English and Spanish, from Hogan’s office, reminding them of the executive order and recommending that “employers have to provide letters to demonstrate that employees are consider essential.”

 

Employees must bring these letters containing:

The name and address of the employee

The name and address of the company

The type of the employee’s job, including the reasons why the employee’s job meets the definition of essential

Employer’s signature and contact information

Essential employees should carry this letter to and from work. mymcmedia

I suspect they may begin requiring those letters in other states as well, Roy.  Stay well!

Good evening Roy. I would agree with Myrl above. How about food shopping? I know you get a delivery but are you permitted to do that?

I wonder if he would know if I forged a letter from my mommy Roy Kelley . Gee whiz this just seems like over-reach to me.

Shopping for food is allowed. However, we are using the home delivery services.
