Family gatherings, house parties account for 67% of virus transmission in Prince George's. [View all]

'Family gatherings and house parties account for 67 percent of COVID-19 transmissions in Prince George's County, County Executive Angela Alsobrooks said during a Thursday press conference.

County officials say that contact tracers have determined that 44 percent of people who contracted COVID-19 reportedly attended family gatherings and 23 percent reportedly attended a house party.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan says the trend is very much the same across the state of Maryland, saying on Wednesday that the number one cause of virus transmission in the state is family gatherings, followed by house parties, and then outdoor events.

“I think there’s a false sense of security when you’re spending time with family or friends, especially if you’re at home or at a backyard bbq," Hogan says.'>>>
