Righteous Cuts, a barbershop in the 8100 block of Belair Road; and Exile Fitness, a gym in the 8300 block of Pulaski Highway were ordered to close by the fire marshal.

If they had not complied, they each would have been fined $200 per day after the order was issued, fire department spokeswoman Elise Armacost said.

Statewide, two people have been arrested for violating Hogan's order forbidding gatherings of more than 10 people.

The county has opened a response fund to support residents affected by layoffs and food insecurity during the COVID-19 crisis and to secure protective gear for healthcare workers and first responders.
