BERLIN — The city is asking residents to continue wearing masks voluntarily to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The city council Monday night chose not to renew the city’s mask mandate, which expired last Friday with the statewide mandate. Berlin will still require masks to be wore inside municipal buildings. Mayor Paul Grenier said only one city in the state, Portsmouth, now has a mask ordinance. Grenier said the mayors of Claremont, Concord, Dover, Franklin, Keene, Laconia, Lebanon, Manchester, Nashua, Rochester and Somersworth as well as Berlin have followed the state’s example and let the mandates expire. He said the mayors have issued a joint letter, explaining Gov. Chris Sununu let the mask mandate expire following a reduction in the state’s seven-day average of daily deaths to 0.6, the lowest since October 2020, as hospitalizations remain at a manageable level, and as over 70 percent of residents 65 and over have been vaccinated.
