AUGUSTA — The Maine CDC has updated its list, April 28, of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the state of Maine.

Today, there are 1,040 cases confirmed across the state. 

Across the state, 585 people have recovered from COVID-19, while 51 people have passed. The number of people hospitalized, at some point during their illness, across the state stands at 163.

Looking at hospital COVID-19 data, there are currently 33 hospitalized, including 17 in critical care and seven on a ventilator. There are 158 available critical care beds out of 330 total and 298 available ventilators of 314 total and 397 alternative ventilators.  

The Maine CDC reports 16,784 negative cases, as of April 22. “Maine CDC will publish negative results once a week on Wednesdays. Because of the number of outside labs that are testing samples from Maine, it is not currently possible to post a complete count of negative tests on a daily basis,” the Maine CDC website states. 

By sex, 563 females have tested positive in the state and 477 males have tested positive.  

The below cases represents the number of full-time Maine residents who have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Maine CDC. 

“This is likely an underrepresentation of the true number of cases in Maine since not all individuals are being tested,” the Maine CDC says. “For individuals not considered to be at high risk, medical providers are currently advised to diagnose COVID-19 based on symptoms.” 

Each day, the Maine CDC updates its COVID-19 data on its website with the latest coronavirus numbers from across the state. Today’s update came at 11:45 a.m.
