While NGXchange is a hyper-local website, we share information from credible state and national sources about issues that may impact our friends and neighbors here in New Gloucester. There’s a lot of fear and misinformation circulating about the corona virus that has just been declared an international pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Maine has just announced its first case case in Androscoggin County. The Maine CDC cautions all of us to stay informed and take common-sense precautions such as washing your hands often and avoiding crowds. Check the Maine CDC website for regular updates.
The state’s major daily newspapers have dropped their paywalls on coronavirus coverage so that readers can access that news online for free. That may be a helpful way for readers to monitor closures, cancellations, and other breaking news.
