The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported 415 new cases of COVID-19 and two additional deaths on Saturday as the delta variant continues to spread aggressively across the state.
The new cases are the most reported in a single day since May 3, indicating that the current surge in infections and hospitalizations is likely far from over in Maine. Although the number of people hospitalized statewide with COVID-19 declined from 143 to 132 between Friday and Saturday, hospitalization trends have typically lagged behind cases by about two weeks throughout the pandemic.
