There are no known cases at the other University of Maine System universities. 

 

The above Data reflects ACTIVE known cases identified through the UMS asymptomatic screening and other testing venues.  When an individual is released from an isolation order by a public health agency the active case number shared in the Together for Maine daily update is reduced to reflect that change.  UMS is reporting one known case today, the same number reported in the 9/21/20 update.
