The Maine CDC has now classified Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox, Hancock, Penobscot, Piscataquis and Aroostook counties in the red, high transmission areas recommending masks in indoor public places .  Seven counties – York, Kennebec, Oxford, Franklin, Somerset, Waldo and Washington – are listed in the “yellow” category, meaning they have moderate levels of transmission.

Androscoggin is the only county in Maine that has retained its “green” status, signifying low levels of transmission despite having a low vaccination rate of 66.78 percent.  Cumberland County has the highest vaccination rate of any county in Maine
