COVID closes church

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION Riverbank Church halted in-person worship for two weeks earlier this month due to three families testing positive for COVID-19, according to the church’s executive pastor.
Church officials first became aware of the cases on May 10, said Matt Burge, the executive pastor of the White River Junction church located on Holiday Drive, in an email last week.
Then, “out of an abundance of caution,” they decided to switch to online-only services for the subsequent two weekends, he said.
“There doesn’t appear to be a clear tie in terms of a common event,” Burge wrote. “We are a large church community of over 1,000 people across the Upper Valley region, so any increase in cases at large is bound to impact our church community in some way.”

NEWPORT, N.H. The Sullivan County COVID-19 vaccination site at River Valley Community College in Claremont is closing next week, according to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.
Beginning on Thursday, the new site will be the former Dollar Store in the Shaw’s Plaza at 62 John Stark Highway in Newport.
“We continue efforts to move vaccination sites indoors wherever possible, to increase our throughput, allow for easier social distancing and to avoid bad weather,” Jake Leon, a DHHS spokesman, said in an email.
Appointments scheduled for Claremont on April 8 or later will instead take place at the new site in Newport at the same date and time, Leon said.
