April 17 update: Waldo County’s COVID-19 cases rise; 827 statewide cases
AUGUSTA — The Maine CDC has updated its list, April 17, of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the state of Maine.
Today, there are 827 cases confirmed across the state.
Across the state, 352 people have recovered from COVID-19, while 29 people have passed. The number of hospitalizations across the state stands at 133.
The Maine CDC Director reports 14,076 negative cases, as of April 15. “Maine CDC will publish negative results once a week on Wednesdays. Because of the number of outside labs that are testing samples from Maine, it is not currently possible to post a complete count of negative tests on a daily basis,” the Maine CDC website states.
By sex, 441 females have tested positive in the state and 386 males have tested positive.
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.”
The tables below are updated once each day by noon, by the Maine CDC. Today’s update came at 11:45 a.m.
