RELATED NEWS: Stage Four of Maine’s economic reopening plan begins today. The limit on indoor seating is increased to 100 people or 50-percent of capacity, whichever is less. For non-seated indoor activities, such as physical activity in the gym, the limit remains at 50. Governor Janet Mills said the expanded capacity, along with continued health and safety precautions, is a "prudent step forward that balances public health and economic health." Stage Four also expands the face covering mandate statewide to include other entities, such as private schools and local government buildings. The re-opening date for indoor service at bars and tasting rooms is set for November 2.
