Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan lifted the state's outdoor mask mandate on Wednesday.

The move followed days after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and President Joe Biden said that Americans who have been fully vaccinated can ditch wearing the mask outdoors. Hogan's directive applies to all residents regardless of vaccination status.

Hogan also announced that all outdoor dining restrictions would be lifted on Saturday but that masks were still required at large ticketed venues.
