Coronavirus Update: Aroostook County, Maine & New Brunswick
MAINE UPDATE: Thursday's report from the Maine Center for Disease Control shows 136 new coronavirus cases and no deaths. Aroostook County has one new infection in today's report. Maine has surpassed 45,000 positive cases since the start of the pandemic.
Gov. Janet Mills says the state will align its coronavirus vaccination plan with President Biden’s call to immunize teachers and school staff. The move opens up vaccines immediately to more than 50 thousand school staff and child care providers in the state. Maine had recently unveiled an age-based system to determine vaccine eligibility, and this week expanded eligibility to people who are 60 and older. So far, about 131,000 Maine residents are fully vaccinated.
