Maine is reporting 1,091 new cases of the coronavirus on New Year's Eve. 6 more Mainers have died from the disease.
The seven-day average has dropped to 708. A week ago it was over 900, and two weeks ago it was over 1,000.
Daily COVID numbers have fallen in recent days, but state officials attribute that to a drop in testing over the holiday.
On Thursday, 329 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 in Maine. That number has dipped slightly, but the number who need critical care and ventilators has ticked up, to 117 and 57 respectively.
