The Maine CDC reported 120 additional COVID-19 cases and no new deaths Thursday.

According to the Associated Press, The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in Maine has risen over the past two weeks from 23.71 new cases per day on July 13 to 66.57 new cases per day on July 27. The seven-day rolling average of daily deaths in Maine has risen over the past two weeks from 0.86 deaths per day on July 13 to 1.71 deaths per day on July 27.

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.

Maine CDC reported on Thursday that there have been more than 70,000 positive cases of the virus and 899 deaths in the state since the start of the pandemic. More than 60% of the state’s population is fully vaccinated against coronavirus.

Maine officials said this week that residents of counties with high or substantial coronavirus transmission should return to wearing masks indoors regardless of vaccination status. The only county in that category in the state on Thursday was Waldo.
