(WGAN/AP) The Maine CDC reported 680 new cases of COVID-19 and one additional death Thursday.

The number of new cases of coronavirus in the state continues to trend upward as the state continues to work through a backlog of positive tests.

The seven-day rolling average of daily deaths in Maine has also risen over the past two weeks from 4.43 deaths per day on Sept. 21 to 6.14 deaths per day on Oct. 5.

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 said there have been more than 93,000 cases of the virus and 1,066 deaths in the state since the start of the pandemic.
