LEWISTON – Dr. Claudia Geyer is feeling relief for what might be the first time since March 12, 2020, when Central Maine Medical Center reported the state’s first confirmed case of COVID-19.
The last time the chief of hospital medicine could recall the number of inpatients with confirmed cases of COVID-19 at CMMC to be as low as it was Thursday was prior to the winter surge in cases. Then the Lewiston hospital was hit hard by the spring surge, when hospitalizations across the state were regularly in the triple digits.
“Unfortunately, our county and our hospital saw its highest portion of COVID patients April into May in the entire pandemic. So, we had that really difficult third wave occur in our area,” Geyer said. “So, as of the last several weeks, we’ve seen the numbers come down, you know, we celebrated less than double digits. And today, we’re so excited to have only three patients with COVID in the hospital. It’s wonderful.”

AUBURN As more than 100 Poland Regional High School students prepared to graduate Friday night, it was nearly impossible for anyone to forget it was happening at an airport.
Behind the parking area, as friends and family of the graduates huddled in and around their cars, a full-size plane loomed over all.
Around the stage, smaller airplanes were parked here and there, near bland hangars, and who could overlook that graduation was happening in the middle of a runway at Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport?
