Thankfully, no new individuals have passed away w/COVID19.
More details to come.
2/But there is an important note about today's case #s.
A disruption on Saturday in the data delivery system that reports COVID-19 test results from labs to Maine CDC caused today’s website update to include fewer cases than would have been reported in the past 24 hours.
3/This means that today’s reported number of new cases reflects fewer than 24 hours of data, while Monday’s update will reflect more than 24 hours of data.
4/Monday’s website update will reflect cases not included in today’s update because of the data delivery system disruption as well as additional cases identified today.
The disruption did not affect today’s updates on recoveries, deaths, and hospitalizations.
