Maine CDC Reports 22 New Covid-19 Cases

 


The CDC has identified at least two additional outbreaks resulting from a crowded wedding reception in Millinocket, and is now investigating a possible third: an outbreak at Calvary Baptist Church, in Sanford.

Sunday’s report brings the total coronavirus cases in Maine to 4,512. Of those, 4,047 have been confirmed positive, while 465 were classified as “probable cases,” according to the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

An outbreak stemming from a crowded wedding reception in Millinocket has now directly or indirectly infected over 120 people, according to the Maine CDC, including 54 staffers and prisoners at the York County Jail.

On Saturday, health authorities announced that five cases had been detected at Calvary Baptist Church in Sanford, whose pastor apparently officiated the Millinocket wedding.

CDC officials on Sunday confirmed that they were looking into a link between the Sanford church and the Millinocket wedding.

So far, 420 Mainers have been hospitalized at some point with COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus. Of those, seven people are currently hospitalized, with four in critical care and one on a ventilator.
