Suffice it to say the numbers are disjointed, tend not to agree and the state website always lags. It has been frustrating for NH municipalities since day one given how disjointed they are. What is important to know is that, no matter the specific number, the infection is spreading within the facility and among staff. We have seen the virus behave this way in long-term care facility after long-term care facility around the state and the nation. Once it is introduced, it is extremely difficult to prevent it from spreading, particularly given that some number of people will only ever be asymptomatic carriers of the virus. The Hanover Terrace staff has been so diligent and on top of things, so it is just so discouraging when it seems, no matter what you do, there is enough community transmission that ultimately it feels like it is down to a roll of the dice.

I just received updated numbers for Hanover Terrace from Michael Hinsley, our Health Officer:

Hanover Terrace currently has the following positive for COVID19;

• 53 residents (out of 74 residents today)
• 21 staff members
• 2 outside contractors

We continue to provide support to Michael as he assembles and rides daily herd on our local cases, in addition to the support the College provides to its own students.
