How was your weekend? Are you doing ok? I’d like to know. Sunday is my favorite day of the week: I am very thankful to be able to connect with my family via Zoom. It helped ease my frustration at feeling like I could not safely participate in one of the peaceful protests. But even though I stayed home, I still made some new friends. My wish for them all, and for you: Stay safe, and always, be kind.

Officials urge Floyd protesters to get coronavirus tests

It’s not NH news, but for the 2,000 protestors in Concord, and for protesters across the State in recent days, it is a different message that should be heard. Read the story.

COVID-19 testing in NH

If you have been a crowded situation where you could not keep a six-foot distance, such as on of the peaceful protests, please act as if you have the virus until you can be tested in 5-7 days after exposure. (i.e. mask on, wash hands, avoid the elderly and immune-compromised.) #StaySafe https://www.bonnie4salem.us/covid-19-testing/.
