Email address: Photo/Dan Tuohy MANCHESTER, N.H. – On Friday, the New Hampshire Commerce Corridor (NHCC), a coalition of seven Chambers of Commerce from around New Hampshire, issued a joint statement urging members of the public to support local businesses by continuing to social distance, wear masks and follow other COVID-19 safety guidelines. The announcement comes on the heels of news that New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu will not extend New Hampshire’s mask mandate, citing dropping death rates and the state achieving a 70 percent vaccination rate. On the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 dashboard as of April 16, 445 daily cases were reported on average from April 9 to April 16, a 10 percent increase from the previous week.
