    The below cases represents the number of full-time Maine residents who have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Maine CDC. 

    “This is likely an underrepresentation of the true number of cases in Maine since not all individuals are being tested,” the Maine CDC says. “For individuals not considered to be at high risk, medical providers are currently advised to diagnose COVID-19 based on symptoms.”
