Today, there were only seven new infections reported in the entire State of New Hampshire!
With so few new cases, it’s no surprise that there were no new infections in Salem.
Results were returned for over 1500 … far short of the 2,000 goal, but the positivity rate is 0.33%.
Another 187 people were reported as “recovered,” bringing the number of active cases down to 6.3%.
Goffstown, which had the most active cases, is now down to less than 5 active cases. The communities with the most active cases are now: Manchester (81), Nashua (50), Derry (23), Salem (20), Bedford (14), Merrimack (14), and Londonderry (12). The following communities have between five and 10 active cases: Concord (8), Durham (7), Hudson (7), Somersworth (6), Dover (6), Plaistow (6), Conway (5), Hooksett (5), New Boston (5), Amherst (5). That’s 17 communities in the whole State with more than 5 cases. All others have four or fewer cases.
There are still 20 NH patients who are hospitalized with COVID-19.
Globally, the number of new cases has again gone up to over ¼ million cases, and is higher than the daily average over the last two weeks.
In the US, the number of new cases reported today by Worldometer, is statistically the same as the two-week average.

With NH’s numbers so low, it’s easy to feel safe. However, numbers are skyrocketing in other states. Florida had more new cases today than we have had since the beginning. Hopefully, we can keep NH’s counts low, but it will be work and will require cooperation. I have faith that we can do it. Stay safe, and always, be kind.
