Maine welcomes visitors from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut as of today, March 5, 2021, without quarantine or a negative test. These states join Vermont and New Hampshire.

And, as of May 1, Maine’s travel policy shifts to one that welcomes visitors from all states, except for those identified to have a have a high prevalence of highly contagious Covid-19 variants. If one or more states see a spike in variant cases, Maine will apply its test or quarantine requirement to travelers to and from that state.

This more targeted approach will remain in effect through the summer.

The update concludes: “Although vaccinations have begun, COVID-19 remains a serious public health threat and Maine people should continue to heed all health and safety protocols, including wearing masks, practicing physical distancing, and avoiding large gatherings.”
