On Monday, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu announced that he will be rescinding the statewide ban on reusable grocery bags, reports WMUR.
The ban was originally put in place to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
In a tweet, Sununu announced his intentions to end the ban, stating, “Today I will be issuing a new emergency order that rescinds the ban on reusable bags when shopping. We looked at the latest data, consulted with officials at public health, and ask (sic) individuals to be courteous and respectful to retail/grocery workers by cleaning your reusable bags.”
According to the report, the change is in large part due to the continued low rate of COVID-19 cases in the region.
