AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Seven tourism and business groups are urging Maine Gov. Janet Mills to drop the 14-day quarantine requirement for visitors from other states.

In an open letter, the groups say visitors need to know that they’ll be welcomed to Maine this summer without a quarantine. The Mills administration has said it’s looking into alternatives, but none have been made public.

Under the governor’s plan, lodging and restaurants will open for Maine residents on June 1, and for out-of-state visitors on July 1.
