NHPR has been tracking the pandemic s impact on New Hampshire since March 2020, when COVID-19 was first detected in the state.
Along the way, we’ve adjusted our approach to this tracker as new data sources became available and as we’ve moved through different phases of the pandemic. As the pandemic continues to stretch into its second year, we’re focused on continuing to provide this service, though at a smaller scale.
Starting in May 2021, we are retooling this tracker to focus on the basics: a big-picture look at trends in vaccinations, case counts, hospitalizations and more. That means you will no longer find charts on some more detailed pieces of data, like bed capacity at individual hospitals and institutional outbreaks. This will allow us to focus our reporting efforts on covering new phases of the pandemic, and other important issues affecting the state.

UNITY COVID-19 cases at senior living facilities in the Upper Valley continue to climb.
An outbreak at Sullivan County Health Care in Unity has grown to include 20 people, according to Ted Purdy, the nursing home’s administrator. Since Jan. 5, 11 residents and nine workers have tested positive for the virus, Purdy said in an email. Additional testing of both residents and workers took place on Tuesday, he said.
Residents’ symptoms have ranged from none to coughs, nausea and elevated temperatures, Purdy said.
Four employees of Kendal at Hanover have recently tested positive for the virus, spokesman Jeff Roosevelt said in an email. Two Kendal employees also tested positive in September. So far, no residents at the facility off Lyme Road have tested positive, Roosevelt said.
