The Maine CDC 318 reports 393 new cases of COVID-19 statewide and five residents who have died. Dr. Nirav Shah says more than 4,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine exceeded the temperature requirements while on the way to Maine. The issue was discovered before the vaccines were administered and replacement doses are being sent by Operation Warp Speed.
A series of drug busts in Washington County netted the arrests of two men from Massachusetts and five local residents. MDEA officials say the Massachusetts dealers were bringing cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl to Maine and selling it out of local homes. More arrests are expected.
