[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP there are a bunch of groups trying to get the quarantine restrictions lifted because if they don't, they will decimate the Main tourism industry which is most of the economy.

I have a feeling the restrictions will be lifted before July.[/quote]

I wouldn’t be so confident that economic considerations will win out over public safety concerns.[/quote]

Shrug. The governor's office indicated that they are willing to work on this and come to some sort of compromise. It's of no concern to me because we have our own house there and can quarantine for the required 2 weeks. But I will be seriously shocked if the state decides to kill it's own foremost industry like this.

"What is the progress of the tourism industry’s discussions with the Mills administration on the 14-day quarantine for visitors from outside of Maine?

They seem to be making progress. HospitalityMaine, an advocacy group for hotels and restaurants that has hammered the requirement, has edged off the criticism a bit in recent days after it teased last week the Mills administration was considering shortening phases in its plan, which keeps hotels and restaurants limited into the summer.

Mills said at a news conference on Wednesday that announcements on relaxing restrictions could come this week. On Wednesday, HospitalityMaine said there are “significant discussions within the administration on how to protect Mainers” in ways other than the quarantine."
