One Week Stay Question

Thank you for taking the time to read.

I am in Southern Maryland (Charles County), and have been through the eviction process before.  However, following today's hearing with my tenant, I am looking for some clarification.

Tenant had counsel and during the hearing, they requested a 10 day stay.  Judge asked and I declined. 

Judge then asked the tenant how much stuff she had to move out.  Counsel stated she had four kids.

Judge asked me if I would agree to seven (07) days at which point I said yes.

Now looking at the case file online, it states there is a "1 Week Stay. 1/9/24".  What exactly does this mean for me as the landlord?

I know normally the tenant has 10 days for right of restitution.  Following that, I would file the Warrant for Restitution.  Following that, the sheriff would call and schedule the removal of the tenant assuming they do not pay.

So after 1/9/24, what happens?  Does the sheriff come out or do I still file for the Warrant of Restitution? 

Thank you in advance for help me navigate this issue.
