Another Mainer has died as health officials on Thursday reported 579 more coronavirus cases across the state.

The number of coronavirus cases diagnosed in the past 14 days statewide is 5,165. This is an estimation of the current number of active cases in the state, as the Maine CDC is no longer tracking recoveries for all patients. That’s up from 4,870 on Wednesday.

It’s the third day in a row when new cases climbed above 500, though not all cases were diagnosed in the previous 24 hours. Of the newly reported cases, 124 were diagnosed on April 14, 251 were diagnosed on April 13, 64 were diagnosed on April 12, 55 were diagnosed on April 11 and 94 were diagnosed on April 10.

The recent uptick in cases since late February comes despite the ramped up vaccination drive, with about 35 percent of Mainers inoculated against the virus. State data show that the ZIP codes with the highest increase in cases are in small and rural communities and not larger urban cities, a likely consequence of growing fatigue from more than a year living under gathering restrictions.

A man in his 80s from Oxford County has succumbed to the virus, bringing the statewide death toll to 758.

Thursday’s report brings the total number of coronavirus cases in Maine to 55,953, according to the Maine CDC. That’s up from 55,374 on Wednesday.

Of those, 42,185 have been confirmed positive, while 13,768 were classified as “probable cases,” the Maine CDC reported.

The new case rate statewide Thursday was 4.33 cases per 10,000 residents, and the total case rate statewide was 418.06.

Maine’s seven-day average for new coronavirus cases is 427.3, up from 389.7 a day ago, up from 321.1 a week ago and up from 183.1 a month ago. That average peaked on Jan. 14 at 625.3.

The most cases have been detected in Mainers in their 20s, while Mainers over 80 years old make up the majority of deaths. More cases and deaths have been recorded in women than men.
