Public health authorities say the death toll from a coronavirus outbreak linked to a Maine wedding reception has grown to seven.
The NIH has launched an investigation into the case of a patient who suffered spinal cord damage after joining AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine trial.
“Maine CDC is concerned about where we are, and I’m asking everyone else to share in that concern. COVID-19, right now, is not on the other side of the fence. It is in our yards,” Shah said. “The gains that Maine has made against COVID-19 are ones that could, and unfortunately can, be washed away.”The wedding was officiated by pastor Todd Bell of Calvary Baptist Church in Sanford. The Maine CDC is investigating to determine if an outbreak at the church is connected to the wedding outbreak.
“The Calvary Baptist Church has a legal right to meet. The authority of a local Christian church, a Jewish synagogue or a Muslim mosque to gather for their respective religious services is a time-honored part of our nation’s history since its inception,” the statement said. “These religious activities are also fully protected under the 1st Amendment to our United States Constitution.”
