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.
