COVID Information

To our valued guests and friends: 

We are looking forward to your upcoming stay at Seaglass Village! 

We would like to share updated information pertaining to the current guidelines in Maine as you prepare for your stay. (Please note that these guidelines are subject to change, and we will continue to keep you updated as your check-in date approaches.)  

​

Under Keep Maine Healthy,

• The State will allow adults who obtain and receive a negative COVID-19 test from a specimen taken no longer than 72 hours prior to arrival to forgo the 10-day quarantine upon arrival in Maine. This test indicates that, even when coming from areas with a higher prevalence of the disease than Maine’s, such visitors are unlikely to have COVID-19 and to spread it to Maine residents and other visitors. Individuals may be tested in Maine, but they must quarantine while awaiting the results.

• Maine is strongly urging visitors to “Know Before You Go,” and be tested and receive results in their home state before traveling to Maine, which will allow them to take appropriate action depending on the result. Websites like Get Tested COVID-19 show local testing options nationwide.

• The State is exempting residents from the following states from the testing and 10-day quarantine requirement for travel and lodging: Vermont, New Hampshire. (Exemptions for Connecticut, New York and New Jersey ended Nov. 4, 2020. The exemption for Massachusetts ended Nov. 16, 2020.) When adjusted for population, the prevalence of active cases of COVID-19 in these states is similar or better to that in Maine. Maine considers a number of quantitative and qualitative measures in making this determination, which is designed to protect public health. The State will continue to evaluate exemptions based on public health information.

• People who are not Maine or exempted states must complete a Certificate of Compliance form indicating they have received a negative COVID-19 test result, that they will quarantine in Maine for 10 days, or that they have already completed their quarantine in Maine.

• This Certificate of Compliance must be provided to check-in at all Maine lodging, campgrounds, seasonal rentals, and other commercial lodging, such as Airbnb. Visitors may be asked to furnish proof of the negative test result upon request.

• Signing a compliance form in order to stay in lodging establishments is also a policy employed by both the States of New Hampshire and Vermont. 

• The Department of Economic and Community Development will work closely with lodging establishments to communicate the State’s new alternative to quarantine through reservations, which must be taken this summer, and work to advance the message of “Know Before You Go” urging people to be tested at their point of origin through reminders to guests.

• The State’s standing order –  which allows anyone in Maine over the age of 12 months who feels they need a test to get one without an order from their own primary care provider – coupled with enhanced testing capacity in July resulting from an agreement with IDEXX, support testing of tourism workers in Maine and serve as a back-up option for tourists who cannot be tested at home and commit to quarantining in Maine while awaiting results.

• Please email the test results to Rentals@seaglassvillage.com.
