Silver Spring Among Areas with Most COVID-19 Cases in Maryland
The Maryland Health Department (MDH) began releasing COVID-19 numbers organized by zip code Sunday.
Three Silver Spring zip codes have the highest concentration of cases in Maryland after Baltimore City with 153 cases (zip code 21215) and Lanham with 143 cases (20706). The Silver Spring zip code 20904 has 137 cases as of Monday morning. 20902 has 135, and 20906 has 134.
Zip codes with seven or fewer cases are not included on the MDH website.
As of Monday morning, there are 1,756 COVID-19 cases in Montgomery County, and 8,936 overall in Maryland. There have been 48 deaths in our county, and 262 in Maryland.

Have they found a cute or vaccine for this virus as of yet
The C2 and C4 metro buses plying the route from Langley Transit Center to Wheaton are fully packed with workers between 5 am and 8am. They literally overflow with passengers and I suspect that would be a major cause of rising numbers in the Montgomery county area. Can the health authority do something about this please.
You may wish to observe for yourselves.
