Governor Janet Mills announced Thursday that capacity limits and requirements to physically distance in public outdoor settings and indoor venues will be lifted come May 24th.

The announcement was made alongside the U.S. CDC’s announcement that mask-wearing requirements will be eased.

The governor’s office says indoor distancing requirements will still apply for settings where people are eating or drinking and therefore would be removing their face covering, like indoor restaurants, bars, dining areas in camps or in congregate living facilities, and break rooms.

“This change aligns with the latest science and makes sense for Maine at this stage, with more people getting vaccinated. We will continuously review our protocols. The fact is the more people get vaccinated, the faster we will be able to get back to normal,” Governor Mills said in a statement.

Face coverings will still need to be worn in public indoor settings.

Mills on Thursday also renewed Maine’s State of Civil Emergency for another 30 days as the state continues to mobilize to get people vaccinated against COVID-19.
