Sununu urges caution for seniors going to amusement parks, movies
The rest of New Hampshire’s still-closed businesses can reopen June 29, but Gov. Chris Sununu cautioned that people over 60 should avoid those sectors, which include amusement parks, movie theaters, performing arts venues, arts and music education programs and adult day care centers.
“Not advised, at this time,” Sununu said Thursday. “We aren’t going to prevent it, but if you are over 60 or have an underlying health condition, I would not advise it. People can make their own personal decisions, but there is a lot of risk, to be sure.”
New Hampshire restaurant owners assail indoor seating limits
“Only days after New Hampshire restaurants were allowed to begin offering indoor dining they’re clamoring to remove virtually all restrictions, including requiring tables be separated.
On June 15, restaurants, previously restricted to outdoor dining and takeout, began seating customers inside, at 50% capacity in four southern counties and 100% in the rest of the state. But they still must limit tables to six customers and maintain six feet of separation between tables. The idea is that, with the combination of indoor/outdoor seating, they could serve about the same number of customers, at least when the weather is nice.”

“We are so buried with work it’s ridiculous,” Michelle Ferranti said. “Cars still gotta run, they’ve got to get us someplace even if they don’t have to get us to work everyday.”
