The task force will aim to bring together leaders with expertise in a variety of areas, including health, disaster recovery, business, housing and others.

Many Marylanders are struggling with unemployment, meaning that can't afford groceries or are being threatened with eviction.

"The pandemic exposed the fault lines of inequality and need that permeate our state and our country," Frosh said. "You don't get to a place like this unless they're are problems with the legal system."

For the latest information on coronavirus go to the Maryland Health Department's website or call 211. You can find all of WJZ's coverage on coronavirus in Maryland here.
