Today is Wednesday. Temperatures will be in the mid-30s to high 40s from north to south, with cloudy skies throughout the state. Here’s what we’re talking about in Maine today. Two Mainers died and another 142 coronavirus cases were reported across the state on Tuesday, according to the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The death toll statewide is now 660. Check out our COVID-19 Tracker for more information. Six staff members at the Penobscot County Jail in Bangor have tested positive for COVID-19, though no inmates have tested positive so far, Sheriff Troy Morton said Tuesday. Walgreens locations in Maine will begin offering COVID-19 vaccinations to older Mainers later this week as the state continues to increase its capacity.
