A man wears a face covering, Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2021, in Portland, Maine. COVID-19 continues to spread in Maine at increasing rates due to the highly transmissible delta variant.

Maine health officials have reported that 50 more Mainers have died and another 4,011 coronavirus cases have been reported across the state.

The CDC says, even though high numbers of new cases are being reported, wastewater testing for the virus and hospitalizations for COVID reveal that transmission of the disease is declining.
