End of State of Emergency

Governor Mills has announced that the end of Maine's State of Emergency<https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MEGOV/bulletins/2e3a411> will be June 30, 2021.
"The Governor temporarily extended the current State of Civil Emergency, which was set to expire on Sunday, June 13, through June 30, 2021, to ensure an orderly transition out of the emergency."

Also in the announcement:
"The State's last remaining face covering requirement, which only applies to indoor preK-12 schools and child care settings, will also end on June 30, 2021. However, Maine CDC will continue to recommend, though not require, that unvaccinated people - including those under 12 who are not yet eligible for a COVID vaccine - wear face coverings indoors. School Administrative Units and child care settings may require face coverings, as some businesses have done."

The announcement also included COVID status information:
"More than 73 percent of Maine people age 12 and older have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 64.9 percent are fully vaccinated, according to the U.S. CDC vaccination tracker<https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/%23vaccinations>. Maine, adjusted for population, also ranks 4th lowest in total number of cases and 4th lowest in number of deaths from COVID-19, according to the U.S. CDC.
