PORTLAND, Maine (AP) University of Maine students are returning to campus for the first time since being sent home in March.

Monday marked the start of move-in week in Orono just days after three students tested positive for the coronavirus.

Two students are roommates and live off campus, and one student lives in a fraternity house.

All three are showing mild symptoms and are quarantining.

The university system is testing all students who are returning from out of state and all students who are living in campus residence halls.

Maine has had more than 4,300 reported cases of the virus.
