5/In terms of geographic distribution, 25% of yesterday’s #COVID19 cases in #Maine were from Cumberland County, 19% from York, and 10% from Kennebec.
6/This degree of community transmission means that face coverings and physical distancing are more important than ever.
Why do I worry? Today's community transmission can become tomorrow's outbreaks in places like nursing homes. We all need to do our part to keep them safe.
