MAINE PUBLIC • April 5, 2020
Sunday, if you happen to be staying in a hotel, bed and breakfast, campground or other lodging in Maine, noon is going to be check out-time for almost everybody because lodgings around the state will be closing. It's part of a new executive order from Gov. Janet Mills, designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 by discouraging travel to and around the state. The rule is taking effect at a time when many hotels are just preparing for a busy season ahead.
