"Maine has received a paltry amount of PPEs compared to what we have asked for. These additional allotments will help us but they will still be insufficient," Shah said of the new federal shipment.

On the rising number of confirmed cases, Shah said: "This increase that we’ve seen is concerning to us. It is also consistent with what other states have seen...and largely consistent with what we have seen in other parts of the northeast and New England."

Last update on testing: Last week, the backlog was 1,300 tests. Shah said they've reduced that by about 500. So it is possible some of the increase seen over the weekend in new cases is because Maine CDC has received new shipments of chemicals needed to increase testing capacity.
