Our governor has giv,en a message to potential visitors with the purpose of preserving public health while opening the tourist season: if you come from out of Maine, self-quarantine for two weeks before you enjoy your vacation. Unfortunately, that broad dictum invites ignoring her, or worse , the message of you are not welcome here. Rather, Gov. Janet Mills ought to give a more fine-tuned set of guidelines to tourists. Yes, we are a welcoming state, but visitors should avoid all chances of congregating, tour our great vistas only by car, and practice social distancing, always using masks. ~ Steve Colhoun, Addison
