(CNN) Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Friday both delivered the details of their state's plans to reopen, but at the same time warned the states aren't ready to reopen yet.

Hogan, a Republican, said that the state plans to follow the federal guidelines issued by President Donald Trump last week, which call for states to meet specific metrics before considering lifting restrictions, including a 14-day downward trend in key numbers. He warned that the state has not yet hit its peak for coronavirus cases and deaths,.

"Here in Maryland we took some of the earliest and most aggressive actions in the nation to slow the spread of Covid-19. Because of those efforts ... we have far fewer cases, hospitalizations and deaths than all of the models were calling for," he said.

"We have been successful in flattening and lengthening the curve in our state, and we have not had the very high spikes that you have seen in other states," he added. "But that is also why we are several weeks behind those other states who spiked earlier, and the number of new cases of Covid-19 is still rising here in Maryland and throughout the Maryland, DC and Virginia region. And by the federal standards instituted last week, and under the guidance given in the studies and reopening plans that we cited, Maryland is not yet able to lift our restrictions."

The announcement of Hogan and Northam's plans to reopen their states and economies are an important marker both the states and Washington, DC. Those three entities have promised to work together closely on reopening their economies from stay-at-home orders meant to limit the spread of coronavirus.
