Slow the spread, while shopping for essential needs

Residents are asked, as a suggestion, to conduct their grocery shopping only on certain days assigned by last name to combat the spread of coronavirus.A statement from the County Commissioners is available here. 

"Chronic overcrowding" has become an issue in grocery and convenience stores, so residents are now asked to grocery shop no more than once every five days, according to the Calvert County Health Department. Residents are assigned certain shopping days based on their last names.

Last name starting with A-C shop on dates ending with 0 and 5

Last name starting with D-G shop on dates ending with 1 and 6

Last name starting with H-L shop on dates ending with 2 and 7

Last name starting with M-R shop on dates ending with 3 and 8

Last name starting with S-Z shop on dates ending with 4 and 9

"Going to the grocery store has shifted from an occasional trip to get necessities to a frequent excuse for getting out of the house," the Health Department said. The Health Department reminds citizens to wear a mask when visiting essential businesses.
