Union Leader: NH expands testing as 19 new deaths reported; long-term care facilities with most revealed
“Gov. Chris Sununu announced plans to dramatically expand testing on New Hampshire’s deadliest day of the COVID-19 crisis, with 19 deaths reported, by far the most since the pandemic began.
Under the expanded testing protocol, anyone with a single symptom will be permitted to schedule a test even without a doctor’s recommendation.
Those eligible for testing at five sites across the state also will include people without symptoms but who are at a greater risk of contracting the virus, including people over 60, anyone with a chronic medical condition such as asthma or diabetes and all health care workers, Sununu said.”
