On Thursday, just in time for the July 4 holiday, the Mills administrationlifted quarantine restrictions for three states, allowing tourists from Connecticut, New York and New Jersey to visit Maine without having to quarantine for two weeks or provide a negative COVID-19 test result. New Hampshire and Vermont residents were already allowed to visit Maine without those restrictions.
Mills said Maine could reconsider its loosening of visitor requirements and other reopening policies if cases begin to surge again.
