AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) The University of New England is undertaking additional testing measures on its Biddeford and Portland campuses as York County remains a hotspot for COVID-19.

Students who feel they’re at higher risk of contracting the coronavirus can be tested free of charge, UNE President James Herbert said in a letter to the university community.

Examples of activities that place a student at higher risk include attending a party, church or other social event where masks are not consistently worn, travel outside of Maine or close contact with someone known to have the virus.
