While COVID-19 vaccination sites are trending go-to spots these days, two formerly crowded Maine venues could regain popularity if the pandemic worsens.
The state’s largest indoor stadium, the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, this week modified plans for serving as a temporary hospital if coronavirus cases spike in Maine. In Bangor, the Cross Insurance Center is ready to fill a similar role.
In April 2020, Gov. Janet Mills tapped both facilities to serve as alternate care sites, handling overflow patient loads from the state’s health care providers if necessary. Under arrangements worked out over the summer, the MaineHealth system would run a field hospital in the Portland arena, while Northern Light Health would operate a hospital at the Bangor site.
