York County, Maine, marks 100th COVID death

Even as trends in the state s COVID-19 pandemic data begin to show signs of improvement, the number of Mainers who have died with the virus continues to climb.  The COVID death toll among residents of York County reached 100 on Monday, as the statewide toll reached 595, according to data maintained by the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Many of those who have died were already vulnerable due to their age and underlying health conditions. And some of the deaths have been linked to outbreak investigations, including the deaths of three inpatients at York Hospital and 13 residents of Durgin Pines in Kittery.

Church marks Maine s COVID toll with 500 white ribbons, 1 pink

One ribbon does not look like the others. Rev. Diane Wendorf stood on the church’s front steps Tuesday and held up a ribbon affixed to one of the railings. It was pink. And while the ribbon was a different color than the others, that was not its only distinction. The white ribbons bore only a number, signifying how many Mainers had died with the virus at the moment each white strip was tied. The pink ribbon had a name: Louise Knight. Knight, 93, of Sanford, died from the virus Jan. 4. She was a member of the North Parish church. “She was a very generous soul, very down to earth,” Wendorf said. “She loved people. She was a delight. She embraced people so much.”
