Virtually all statewide limits on businesses and public activities due to the pandemic will be lifted in New Hampshire within a matter of weeks, Gov. Chris Sununu announced Thursday.
The statewide mask mandate will expire on Friday, April 16. And on May 7, all required business restrictions – such as capacity limits and cleaning requirements – will be lifted, replaced with voluntary guidance.
In making the announcement, Sununu pointed to rising vaccination rates especially among healthcare workers and the elderly and a decline in COVID-19 deaths. He struck an upbeat note and said his decision was informed by public health data.
