COVID-19 Jan. 19 Update: Amid more modest gains, cases top 34K as January zeros in on December's record
(EDITOR'S NOTE: For reporting purposes, case counts are actually tabulated the prior day and those tabulations are often adjusted up or down. This is due to Maine CDC investigators determining which actual new or current cases may not qualify to be classified as COVID-19 cases, especially when it comes to probable cases. Some days are actually adjusted upward, while cases are more often revised downward upon subsequent investigations. Therefore, The Maine Edge uses adjusted net figures first when determining actual daily variances instead of the number of newly reported cases that may end up not qualifying or being adjusted. In the case of a prior day's figures being revised upward, both will be included since the prior day was underreported.)
DAILY UPDATE: Current information as of 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19 with CDC data as of 11:59 p.m. Monday, Jan. 18. Some figures have been updated due to newly obtained data.
AUGUSTA - Cases related to COVID-19 posted more modest gains this week after a week that saw thousands of new cases pile on across the state.
