COVID-19 outbreak at Claremont senior housing complex infects 21 residents
Elaine Perrault, 83, of Claremont, N.H., takes a cigarette break outside the Earl M. Bourdon Centre where Perrault has lived for the past eight years. Perrault tested negative for the COVID-19 virus last week and is due to be tested again next week. Twenty-one residents and 5 staff have the virus. Residents have been told by intercom to stay in their apartments and communal activities have been cancelled. "It's eerie," Perrault said of the empty halls. "I want to see these people back to smiling," she said later. (Valley News - Geoff Hansen) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission.
