Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
GUILFORD, Maine — A Maine medical supply manufacturer has been awarded more than $11 million from the federal government to produce millions of additional testing swabs.
Republican Sen. Susan Collins says Puritan Medical Products of Guilford received the money through the federal Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. Collins says the company will increase its production of swabs by three million per month.
The White House in June said the federal government was providing more than $75 million for Puritan to double its production to 40 million swabs per month.
The company’s total production is at least 90 million per month now, Collins says.
The state has reported nearly 10,800 cases and 189 confirmed deaths since the start of the pandemic.
