PORTLAND, Maine (AP) A bill that would protect COVID-19 patients’ rights is set to be proposed Monday by Maine Democrats.

The proposal will be the first bill of the new session of the Maine Legislature, Democratic leaders said.

The Maine Legislature Office of the Presiding Officers said the proposal “is about making sure nothing prevents Mainers from getting the health care they need to protect themselves, their families and loved ones from this serious virus.”

Details about the specifics of the plan were set to be unveiled later on Monday.
