Maine health officials reported 236 new COVID-19 cases and one additional death over the weekend as the statewide vaccination rate topped 80% for the first time. 

The latest person reported to have died was a man in his 70s from Oxford County. Maine has now seen 2,222 deaths since the pandemic began, and a total of 237,717 coronavirus cases. 

There are now 97 people hospitalized with the virus in Maine, including 24 in critical care and three on ventilators. 

The rate of positive tests reported to the state has seen only a slight uptick in the past month after dropping off sharply from a peak in late January and early February. It was 6.5% Monday. 

The statewide vaccination rate was 80.2% on Monday. Vaccination rates remain lowest in Somerset County at 63% and highest in Cumberland County at 92%. 

Data updated Monday shows that vaccine breakthrough cases have accounted for 38% of infections since residents could first be fully vaccinated. Vaccinated people have made up 32% of hospitalizations and 36% of deaths in Maine in that same period.
