The most vulnerable in our communities are those who will suffer the greatest if we do not.
The better we do now, the better we'll do later.

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.
