CONCORD – The state Department of Health and Human Services announced 215 new positive test results for COVID-19 and no new deaths Monday.

Please note, due to a laboratory reporting issue, the PCR positivity rate cannot be accurately calculated. Today’s results include 157 people who tested positive by PCR test and 58 who tested positive by antigen test. There are now 2,057 current COVID-19 cases diagnosed in New Hampshire.

Several cases are still under investigation. Additional information from ongoing investigations will be incorporated into future COVID-19 updates.

The county of residence is being determined for thirteen new cases.

No new hospitalized cases were reported. There are currently 56 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19. This census may include out of state residents hospitalized in NH and/or individuals readmitted to the hospital, therefore increases in the daily hospital census may not always equal the number of new hospitalizations reported in a given day. None of the new cases had no identified risk factors. Community-based transmission continues to occur in the State and has been identified in all counties. Investigations are pending and risk factors for new cases are unknown at this time.
