Judy Woodruff:

But I guess what I'm asking is, in a situation like right now, where you have the Delta variant posing this dangerous threat, why not go ahead and go back to requiring masking, when everybody can transmit, including people who are vaccinated?
Gov. Larry Hogan:

Well, from the beginning of this, we have always followed the science. We have a terrific team of public health professionals and epidemiologists.And we're following their advice every single day.

And they're not advising that at this point in time, because our numbers, our virus numbers, our positivity rate, our transmission rate, our hospitalization rate and — are all the lowest in the country, and our vaccination rate is the highest in the country.

And so we are doing — taking the steps that we think are important, and other states are in a much different situation than we are.
