Business Unusual in Montgomery County

The following “Business Unusual” account is part of our new initiative, Collecting in Quarantine. With current mandates for all non-essential businesses to close, business is anything but usual in Maryland. In the Business Unusual series, MdHS is asking business employees, owners, customers, passers-by and neighborhood residents to visually share their experiences during the COVID-19 crisis.

Monday, May 26, 2020 – On this day, Jay Herson from Montgomery County shared the photos below:

As one of Maryland’s counties most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, Montgomery County has been forced to remain closed, despite other parts of the state beginning to lift select restrictions. County executives are keeping a close eye on developments, but for now residents must remain patient.
