• • • • TODAY’S SPOTLIGHT• • • • • •

Good news for Salem today: The number of active cases went down by one more person, and there are no new infections.
Confession: I made an error yesterday. I showed one new infection on the calendar and in the Spotlight. However, I erred in the heading. It showed zero; it should have been one. I apologize for any confusion.
Salem’s School Board is meeting tomorrow evening at 6:30 to talk about plans for school in the fall. You can watch it via Livestream (link here), or on Channel 6.
Good news in NH: The number of new cases is still pretty stable; the positive results are only 1.2% of all tests. Also, there were no new hospitalizations and no new deaths reported during the time frame covered by this update.
Although there are no new hospitalizations reported today, the number of people who are currently hospitalized has gone up by two. NH DHHS explained this once as someone who had been hospitalized, sent home, and then had a relapse requiring readmission.
Sad news today in NH: of 16 new positive cases, three were children under the age of 18. That’s 12 kids in the last three days.
Hampstead has had the dubious honor of being the 19^th NH Community to reach 50 confirmed cases. They only have seven active cases. At least two more communities are likely to pass 50 cases before we are done as Weare has a total of 48 cases and Windham has 47. All cases with 50+ cases are in the Southeastern part of the state.
NH DHHS has issued a “Coronavirus Disease 2019 Case Investigation and Contact Tracing Plan.” If you are curious about contact tracing, I found Page 6 to be interesting. (FYI: I haven’t read the full report yet.) You can find the Plan here.
