Prior to November 25th, 2020, Maine CDC attempted multiple follow-up calls with every identified case of COVID-19 in Maine in order to assess whether their isolation period was completed. Maine CDC shows cases on the date the investigation was opened and deaths and hospitalizations on the day the event occurred. On November 9,2020, Maine CDC changed how we show the dates of cases.
