The Maine CDC is reporting 31 additional deaths of people with COVID-19 on Friday. The agency identified most of those after reviewing old records.
The number of hospitalized COVID patients has mostly been dropping since January.
Today's count, 163, is the same as yesterday's, but the number of patients in critical care has fallen by 5, to 36. Thirteen are on ventilators.
The state is reporting 998 new coronavirus infections today, but that may not include new cases identified through at-home testing.
