An Ellsworth physician assistant who attended Sundays rally with President Donald Trump is self-quarantining for 14 days after posing unmasked for pictures with both of the Republican Partys congressional candidates in Maine, as well as former U.S. Rep.

There is no indication that Meadows, Crafts, Allen or Poliquin are doing the same. Each of them has often been at public events with many others who are not wearing face coverings.
