Second Harford County COVID-19 Case Confirmed; 3 Maryland Patients Cleared

Harford County Executive Barry Glassman announced late Saturday that there is a second confirmed case of the coronavirus in the county.

Glassman says the patient is a 69-year-old relative of the county's first case, who is an 86-year-old woman who had contracted the virus after traveling to Turkey.

That woman remains hospitalized in stable condition.

"The 69-year-old remains isolated at home and is asymptomatic," Glassman said.

This case brings the total number of confirmed cases in Maryland to 27.

Earlier Saturday, Gov. Larry Hogan's office announced Saturday that the state Department of Health has identified nine other cases.

Spokesperson Michael Ricci adds to date there have been no deaths in Maryland and no cases reported among children.

The Governor's office also announced that according to Montgomery County health officials, the first 3 Maryland Coronavirus cases have recovered and cleared self-quarantine, saying the development serves as a reminder that "the vast majority of people will recover from this infection, and this disease can be properly managed."

The Governor is reminding residents to go to the state's Coronavirus webpage for additional information about the virus.
