Maine CDC Reports 61 New COVID-19 Cases and 2 Additional Deaths

According to the Maine CDC's Wednesday update, the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in Maine is now at 67,880, an increase of 61 since Tuesday. 2 additional deaths were reported of individuals with COVID-19, bringing the total number of deaths to 827. 2,026 patients have had to be hospitalized at some point. 90 are currently hospitalized with 30 in intensive care and 20 on a ventilator.

717,993 Mainers have received at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and 703,634 have completed their vaccination series. That equates to approximately 52% of all Mainers who are fully vaccinated and 53% who have received at least the first of two doses of the vaccine. Over 1.4 million doses in total have been given to Mainers.

All business capacity limits and requirements to physically distance in all indoor and outdoor settings were lifted on May 24. On that day, State mask requirements were lifted as well for those that are fully vaccinated, though private businesses can still require those entering to wear masks.

Governor Mills has renewed the State of Emergency in Maine through June 12, allowing Maine to continue receiving federal funding and using available resources to respond to COVID-19.
