<p>Although we&#8217;re in a new year, one thing that we hadn’t quite left behind in 2020 is the COVID-19 virus. While many cities are going into shutdowns and announcing new COVID-19 restrictions, today, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/gervonta-davis-reportedly-involved-in-hit-and-run-accident-in-baltimore/">Baltimore</a> Mayor Brandon M. Scott had enough of an attendee not wearing a mask during a press conference.</p>
<p>In a now-viral clip, Mayor Scott said, “Before we close and take a few questions, I wanted to address the mandates I put in place restricting in-person dining and activities that require you to remove your mask.”</p>
<p>During the conference, an unidentified man can be heard speaking loudly in the background. Mayor Scott took a brief pause to address the man by saying, “Hold on one second. Shorty, pull your mask up, man.” The man replied, “I ain&#8217;t gotta pull my mask up.” Mayor Scott responded by instructing the man to pull his mask up again.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Mayor Scott captured attention on the internet. We first shared <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CIqXra4h5vs/">his photo</a> in December 2020 with him rocking an afro &; fresh cut! Many took a liking to the 36-year old Mayor. The photo gained over 120k likes. There were so many reactions online following the video. One user on Twitter commented, &#8220;Pull your mask up shawty!&#8221; Mayor of Baltimore&#8230;.. Brandon Scott for president 2024!!! Lol.&#8221; Another commented, &#8220;The newly elected Mayor of Baltimore is off to a fine start. This is how you remain connected to the common folk. You speak that universal language. #Yameen&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the Maryland Department of Health, there have been 289,758 confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported in Maryland. The statewide positivity rate is now 9.19%. Maryland has 5,913 deaths, 2,575,342 negative tests, and 9,388 patients have been released from isolation.</p>
<p>So Mayor Scott isn’t wrong for instructing his citizens to mask up. Want updates directly in your text inbox? Hit us up at 917-722-8057 or click here to join</p>
