The Maine CDC announced 152 additional cases of COVID-19 and no new deaths Thursday.

The average number of daily cases of the virus in Maine has doubled over the course of the last two weeks.

The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in Maine has risen over the past two weeks from 50 new cases per day on July 20 to 100.86 new cases per day on Aug. 3.

The seven-day rolling average of daily deaths in Maine has fallen, however, going from 2.86 deaths per day on July 20 to 0.14 deaths per day on Aug. 3.

The AP is using data collected by Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering to measure outbreak caseloads and deaths across the United States.

The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday that the state has been the site of more than 70,000 positive cases of the virus and 900 deaths.
