The increasing numbers of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 linked to an outbreak that began at a wedding in Maine have left residents of the area feeling “on edge,” according to Millinocket Fire Chief Thomas Malcolm.There have been 53 cases of coronavirus and one death linked to the Aug. 7 wedding, and local officials fear that there could be more.
“Prior to that we had no issues with COVID-19,” Malcolm said in a telephone interview Monday.
Malcolm said that in response to the outbreak, the town offices in Millinocket are closed and local officials are revamping their plans to reopen the schools. Local officials are also using funding from a state grant to promote the wearing of face coverings and to remind tourists to adhere to social distancing guidelines.
