The county’s first case of the coronavirus, or the COVID-19
disease it causes, was announced Friday afternoon. Chris Winebrenner,
communications manager for Carroll County, said in a phone interview at about
1:45 p.m. Friday that one case has been confirmed. Winebrenner said further
details will be provided during a 3 p.m. news conference at the county office building,
which can be viewed on Facebook.

As of Friday afternoon, the coronavirus had resulted in 33
deaths in the United States out of more than 1,200 people who have tested
positive for the virus, according
to Johns Hopkins University. The World Health Organization deemed
the coronavirus a pandemic Wednesday.
Five more people have tested positive for the new coronavirus,
bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 17, a spokesman for Gov. Larry
Hogan said Friday.

While Hogan on Thursday prohibited meetings of 250 people or more, Singer
told the crowd at the Carroll County Public Safety Training Center that
meetings of even the size of that meeting are a concern.
“There’s a low risk that anybody here in this room or
anywhere in Carroll County is going to contract the COVID-19 virus, but that’s
going to change,” Singer said.
Updates on the number of Maryland cases and other important
information can be found on the health department’s COVID-19 webpage at cchd.maryland.gov/covid-19/.
