Maine’s CDC is working with York Hospital, where a coronavirus outbreak has been reported.

The four members of the hospital’s medical-surgical team tested positive on Sunday. The hospital says the cases have been isolated, and testing among all caregivers and patients who could have been exposed is underway.

They say caregivers will continue to be tested every five days until all of them test negative for 14 days.
