On Friday, March 20, Governor Janet Mills released the following audio/radio message to the people of Maine:
      
“You know my parents used to tell me that we cannot control everything that happens to us, but what we can control – and what we must control – is how we react to what happens to us. I know you are concerned, even scared, about your health and that of your loved ones. I know you are thinking about where your next paycheck will come from, or your next bag of groceries.
