Maryland reported Tuesday its largest daily increase in coronavirus hospitalizations since late May.
The state's health department is now reporting 415 hospitalizations. That's an increase of 29 patients over the prior day. Before Tuesday, the largest single-day increase was recorded on May 26, with 39 new patients.
In a tweet Tuesday morning, Gov. Larry Hogan urged residents to wear face coverings and social distance.
As of Tuesday, there have been 74,260 positive infections. That's an increase of 733 new cases overnight.
Eight more deaths were also added Tuesday, pushing the state's fatality count to 3,202.
That new total, however, does not include the 132 others who deaths were linked to the virus, but never confirmed by a lab test. They are considered "probable deaths" — and will not be added to the official total until officials can confirm the cause of death.
