TRANSCRIPT:

Good morning, it is Tuesday, December 28th  2021 this is Liz Frenaye and THIS is your Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief.
I’m back. And coming to you live from a 300 square foot New York City apartment with COVID. I suppose it could be worse, I could be John in Nebraska for a New Years Eve wedding in the ten degree weather. We hope you enjoyed the holiday break and are feeling a bit recharged.  OK, news..lets get into it–shall we?
During the holiday and Omicron surge, COVID tests are hard to find, and now they are getting harder. Stores, including Walgreens, CVS, and Amazon are limiting the amount of at home tests one family unit is able to buy, in Maryland and nation-wide. Walgreens is limiting the amount to four tests, CVS five, and Amazon ten. The stores are also working to get inventory up.
In the latest round of tornado relief, victims of this summer’s tornado in Anne Arundel County are now eligible for grants from the state government, as reported in the Patch. Low-interest loans were previously the only relief available through the state. The grants will be supplied by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development
And at the literal 24th hour, the organizers of the 2021 Military Bowl canceled the game between Boston College and East Carolina. The tailgate and parade were also cancelled. Both teams, and the organizers agreed, that it was best to cancel the game amid the COVID surge, and while disappointing, the best and safest decision.
And in more cancellation news,The City of Annapolis has decided to cancel the scheduled events involving bands and DJs at City Dock/Susan Campbell Park for their New Year’s Eve celebration due to concerns about large gatherings and the spread of the new omicron variant of COVID-19. The fireworks will continue as scheduled at 530pm and midnight, but If you come downtown, come prepared- the city is encouraging restaurants to move their patrons outside where possible, to request vaccination cards or negative tests, and to ask customers to wear masks both inside and outside.
Podcast news.  We need to get some more local businesses to spotlight on the Local Business Spotlight.  So if you know of a locally owned business. Let us know! They are free.
And remember, we are taking a few days off  over the holidays. No DNB episodes on  Friday the 31st or Monday the 3rd.   Hopefully John doesn’t get stuck in Nebraska and will be back on Tuesday.  Need your news fix?  –go to EyeOnAnnapolis,net for all that.
OK, that’s it for the news, but first a quick thank you to our sponsors for the Daily News Brief– Solar Energy Services, the Kristi Neidhardt Team of Northrop Realty, a Long and Foster Company,  and the Hospice of the Chesapeake!
So now, hang tight, we have  George Young from DCMDVA Weather standing by with your locally forecast weather report.  All that’s coming up, in a few seconds.
