New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu is asking President Donald Trump to extend the NH National Guard’s activation through the end of September, reports WCAX.
In an effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trump administration had approved 1000 members of the NH National Guard to give aid through June 24th. Sununu is now asking for 450 members to continue helping the state’s pandemic response from June 24th through September 30th.
He says that these services members are critical in staffing testing sites, distributing Personal Protective Equipment, and helping food bank operations.
