AUGUSTA— The Maine Department of Transportation closed its Region 1 office in Scarborough this morning in response to an employee within the facility testing positive for COVID-19. The office will reopen to the public and employees on Monday morning.
MaineDOT was informed of the test result this morning and notified coworkers. The department is working with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention to
identify close contacts of this individual, who is isolating and was last in the office today, November 12th. No members of the public have been identified as close contacts.
MaineDOT temporarily closed the Scarborough office as a precaution, to allow time for appropriate cleaning and sanitizing per guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We expect the building will reopen on Monday morning.
In order to abide by privacy requirements, MaineDOT is limited in releasing further information about this case. We wish our employee a speedy recovery.
All MaineDOT offices have instituted appropriate physical distancing, face covering, and sanitation policies.
