The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported two new coronavirus-related deaths Saturday as cases rose above 600. The Maine CDC said there are now 616 confirmed cases, an increase of 30 from Friday. The number of confirmed cases is likely an under-representation of the actual amount of cases in Maine since not all individuals are being tested. There are now 19 deaths total reported in the state. The two new deaths are a man in his 70s from Cumberland County and a man in his 80s from York County. The CDC said 114 people have been hospitalized with coronavirus since the outbreak began. Officials said 256 people have recovered from the virus. Most of the coronavirus cases remain in Cumberland and York counties. All but one Maine county has recorded a positive case of COVID-19.
