The Maine CDC is reporting 1,559 new cases of the coronavirus since the end of last week.
That count includes data from Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The seven-day average of new cases is now 940. That's down from a week ago, when it briefly topped 1,000, but it's still among the highest rolling averages of the pandemic.
The state CDC is reporting 22 additional deaths of people with COVID-19.
And 387 people in Maine are hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Tuesday, a new record, with 125 in critical care and 62 on ventilators.
Maine CDC Director Nirav Shah tweeted Tuesday that people who think they won't be affected by COVID-19 should remember that several underlying health conditions can lead to worse outcomes.
Shah also urged people to consider at-risk family members who would likely need a hospital bed if they got sick.
