Testing
State epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan said the state is testing an average of 1,700 people per day for COVID-19, and the three-day average of positive tests has continued to be around 5%. Commissioner Lori Shibinette said testing capacity has expanded in the North Country, where ClearChoiceMD has set up a testing site at Littleton Regional Hospital. The site can perform tests for active cases and for COVID-19 antibodies.
