Baltimore Mayor Jack Young (D) defended the city’s response to the coronavirus pandemic after mayoral candidate Mary Miller said Young and his administration did not act quick enough to try and contain the spread of the virus.
“We partially activated our incident commander center in early January after the first case of COVID was announced in December in China. And I don’t know why she [Miller] doesn’t understand that even though you don’t see anything happening publicly-prep work was happening all the time,” Young told MarylandReporter.com in a phone interview on Wednesday.
“We were one of the first jurisdictions in the country to develop a 911 screening protocol. And we started meeting with our health, our office of emergency management, and our fire department, about this, back in early January.”
