Operative words

'The health and safety of our exhibitors and attendees is our primary focus' (Vanessa Finney, Executive Vice President); the Baltimore Convention Center was 'functioning as a 250-bed Maryland state COVID-19 field hospital since April through end of December' and Maryland's 'ongoing restrictions on large indoor gatherings' continued (Greenhouse Grower, Aug. 4, 2020, Ex. SEC-19-GM-014)
