Howard County 5-year-old is first child in Maryland confirmed with coronavirus; Hogan announces further emergency ordersMaryland has its first case of a child testing positive for the new coronavirus a 5-year-old girl in Howard County, Gov. Larry Hogan said Thursday at a news conference in Annapolis.
Maryland overall has 107 confirmed cases, up from 85 on Wednesday, the same day the state had its first coronavirus death. The Prince Georges County man who died was in his 60s and had underlying health problems, state officials said. He acquired the COVID-19 illness through community transmission and had no known travel history.
The child is Marylands lone case for anyone under 18. There are 76 cases of coronavirus in Marylanders aged 18 to 64 and 30 among those 65 and older. Montgomery and Prince Georges counties remain those most impacted, with 33 and 23 confirmed cases, respectively. There are eight confirmed cases in Baltimore City and 12 in Baltimore County.
Hogan expressed dismay that despite warnings some Marylanders were treating this period as a vacation or spring break. Hogan added that were trying to avoid locking down society but that we had people totally ignoring a past order limiting gatherings to under 50 Marylanders. Also among Thursdays emergency orders, Hogan reduced the cap on mass gatherings to 10, following federal guidelines.

I haven't read many articles about the young being affected so I thought it was worth posting.
