1/@MEPublicHealth is reporting 47 new cases of #COVID19 today.

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.
