Maine Medical Center will limit visitation for adult inpatients to one visitor daily, effective this week.

The hospital said it is making the change because community transmission of COVID-19 continues to rise. There were 169 confirmed cases reported by the Maine CDC Aug. 6, a more than 120-case increase from this time in July.

Visiting hours are 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Other parts of the hospital’s visitation policy are unchanged. MMC continues to require masking, social distancing and hand hygiene whenever possible in its facilities.
