PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • April 30, 2021
For the first time in more than a year, all U.S. residents soon will be allowed unrestricted travel to Maine, offering a likely boost to the state’s recovering tourism industry. Starting Saturday, visitors to Maine will be exempt from obtaining a recent negative COVID-19 test or quarantining for 10 days upon arriving in the state. No visitor from any U.S. state will be subject to travel restrictions, Dr. Nirav Shah, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said this week. That could change if hotspots for COVID-19 variants develop in parts of the country.
