Maine Governor Janet Mills on Wednesday declared a 30-day extension of Maine’s civil state of emergency.

The declaration now runs through July 10th.

It has no effect on the reopening plan, and allows the state government to continue drawing down federal resources as it continues dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.

“It is important for all of us to remember that this dangerous, highly contagious and untreatable virus is still all around us,” said Governor Mills. “As Maine continues to reopen and more people begin to interact, we must remain vigilant and follow public health guidelines, such as wearing face coverings, staying six feet apart whenever possible and washing our hands frequently, to protect ourselves and others. In the meantime, our Administration will do all we can to continue to safeguard public health and support our economic recovery.”
