PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The Maine winter sports season has been indefinitely delayed, the Maine Principals’ Association has decided.
The season was set to start in mid-November, but the pandemic has made that impossible, the association said. Public health authorities in Maine on Wednesday reported the second highest number of new coronavirus cases in a single day since the start of the pandemic.
The association doesn’t yet have a timetable for when practices might be able to start, the Portland Press Herald reported.
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services will play a major role in decisions about winter sports.
“We are hoping that we can begin to get information to people who are planning for winter sports in the near term, but we want to do so carefully and together,” Maine Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Jeanne Lambrew said Tuesday.
