FRYEBURG, Maine — Just hours before Fryeburg Academy was scheduled to host its first sports event since last February — a cross-country running meet at Stark’s Hill — Gov. Janet Mills’ office and the Maine CDC recategorized Oxford County from a “green” to “yellow” designation due to an uptick in COVID-19 cases, which means sports and after-school activities are suspended until at least next Friday, Oct. 2.
The state gives weekly designations with green being the best, yellow in the middle and red is the worst. Yellow indicates “a moderate level of community risk,” says the Maine CDC. All other Maine counties besides Oxford and York (which is also yellow) remain green.
