CONCORD – The state announced 233 new positive test results for COVID-19 Wednesday and three new deaths.
They include a woman from Coos County, a man and a woman from Sullivan County, all over age 60.
Tuesday’s map shows all of the state’s 10 counties shown in red now have substantial community transmission, the highest level. The county map for Wednesday, the school numbers and the map showing the number of cases by community weren’t made available by 7 p.m. Wednesday for the third day in a row.
The overall level of community transmission is defined using three metrics: new cases per 100,000 over 14 days; new hospitalizations per 100,000 over 14 days; and 7-day PCR test positivity rate.
The daily PCR test positivity rate of 2.3. Today’s results include 191 people who tested positive by PCR test and 42 who tested positive by antigen test. There are now 2,394 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.
Of those with complete information, there are twenty-eight individuals under the age of 18 and the rest are adults with 51% being female and 49% being male. The new cases reside in Hillsborough County other than Manchester and Nashua (38), Rockingham (37), Merrimack (24), Belknap (17), Coos (14), Strafford (13), Cheshire (9), Grafton (9), Sullivan (5), and Carroll (4) counties, and in the cities of Manchester (20) and Nashua (15). The county of residence is being determined for twenty-eight new cases.
Four new hospitalized cases were reported. There are currently 69 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. Of those with complete risk information, most of the cases are either associated with an outbreak setting or have had close contact with a person with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis.
In New Hampshire since the start of the pandemic, there have been a total of 13,148 cases of COVID-19 diagnosed with 800 (6%) of those having been hospitalized.
