Officials at ND Paper confirmed Tuesday that an employee died after testing positive for COVID-19. Last week, the state reported an outbreak at the mill that started with four positive tests and grew to 16 by the end of the week. If cases continue to grow and there are not enough people to run the equipment, the mill may have to shut down temporarily. Citing the outbreak of COVID-19 at the mill in Rumford, the Regional School Unit 10 board of directors voted Tuesday to close four of its schools in Rumford and Mexico.
