A member of the Maine State Police has tested positive for COVID-19.

Public Safety Spokesman Steve McCausland said on Monday that the member’s duty included work at the Maine Turnpike Weigh Station in York, along the northbound lanes. The weigh station was closed Saturday morning and has undergone a cleaning by experts, McCausland says. It was expected to re-open by the end of the day on Monday.

The identity of the individual is not being released, but McCausland says he and his family are doing well and are in good spirits.

The CDC is investigating possible contacts the man may have had, and State Police notified anyone who may need to self-quarantine.
