Maine wants residents to enjoy the outdoors, but be safe
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s wildlife and outdoors managers want the state’s residents to enjoy the outdoors, but are asking they take precautions during the coronavirus outbreak. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife says one of the most important things to do is avoid crowds. That could mean visiting a wildlife management area, a local land trust or a less-visited state park. People who are experiencing any symptoms of coronavirus should stay home. Everyone should stay at least six feet from other people, and it’s a good idea to stick to easy trails to avoid injuries.
