CONCORD, NH Although health officials warn that it s too soon for the nation to let down its guard in the fight against the coronavirus, many indicators point to a gradual easing of the pandemic, including a sharp drop in the number of new hospitalizations.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that admissions of confirmed COVID-19 patients has fallen by two-thirds since their peak in early January, with the seven-day average dropping from 16,540 on Jan. 9 to 5,490 on March 2. The latter figure was nearly 15 percent lower than the week before.
Still, the pressure on hospital capacity has not disappeared, federal figures show.
Massachusetts man who slid 100 feet while hiking in NH is rescued after injuring leg
Updated Mar 07, 2021;
A Massachusetts man slid 100 feet while hiking in New Hampshire Saturday, but authorities were able to rescue him after the man injured his leg.
On Saturday, New Hampshire Fish & Game Department officials were notified around 12:45 p.m. that a hiker was hurt on the Tripyramid Trail in Waterville Valley.
The 69-year-old hiker, identified as Robert Zoletti of Needham, Massachusetts, had slid approximately 100 feet as he descended from the summit of South Tripyramid.
“During this uncontrolled descent the hiker suffered a lower leg injury that was going to prevent him from making it out without assistance,” officials said. “Hiking companions called for help and agreed that they would continue sliding the injured hiker to the base of south slide until help arrived.”
