NH Sees 1st COVID-19 Death

New Hampshire State Epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan has announced the first COVID-19 related death in the state, reports WCAX.

The victim was a man over age 60 in Hillsborough County, who had multiple chronic health conditions. He passed over the weekend. At this time, more than 100 NH citizens have tested positive for the virus. 12 are hospitalized. Governor Chris Sununu announced the creation of eight “clinical flex areas”, which will be locations for virus victims who no longer need intensive medical treatment to recover.

The first will be at Southern New Hampshire University.
