While the incidence of COVID-19 has generally been declining in Maine, the delta variant of the coronavirus is causing more and more cases of the disease. The new outbreaks are hitting states such as Missouri, Arkansas and Nevada particularly hard, and in some cases are affecting areas with high vaccination rates. Delta now accounts for more than half of all cases being diagnosed in the U.S.

"Although we expected the delta variant to become the dominant strain in the United States, this rapid rise is troubling,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, in a July 8 White House briefing.

    people will not shut down again, unless it is very significantly worse than before.
