Statewide Mask Mandate Goes Away Friday, April 16
By Paula Tracy - InDepthNH | Apr 16, 2021
CONCORD – New Hampshire will end its statewide mask mandate on Friday.
Gov. Chris Sununu said he feels comfortable letting the temporary “thou shalt must” mandate expire on April 15 given the fact that 70 percent of residents have signed up to get a vaccine, the daily death toll has come down dramatically and hospitals have the capacity to handle more patients with adequate staffing and supplies compared to November when he imposed the executive order.
He said on May 7, the state will move away from its individual business and industry guidance to universal best practices which will be in place to help slow the spread of the virus.
