On Thursday, September 23, 2021, DHHS announced 304 new positive test results for COVID-19 for Wednesday, September 22. Today’s results include 243 people who tested positive by PCR test and 61 who tested positive by antigen test. DHHS also announced an additional 93 new cases from Tuesday, September 21 (49 by PCR test and 44 by antigen test) for a new total of 379. Test results for previous days are still being processed and updated case counts for prior days will be reflected on the COVID-19 interactive dashboard. There are now 3,983 current COVID-19 cases diagnosed in New Hampshire.
Additionally, DHHS has also announced rapid test results from previous days that have not yet been reported. The New Hampshire COVID-19 reports rely on a complex automated information technology system supporting providers and facilities data uploads; this system failed to process antigen test data accurately between 9/15/2021 and 9/20/2021. DHHS and the NH Department of Information Technology have resolved the issue, which has resulted in additional rapid test results for the following dates:
- 09/15: 61 new cases for an updated total of 621 cases
- 09/16: 85 new cases for an updated total of 473 cases
- 09/17: 77 new cases for an updated total of 511 cases
- 09/18: 82 new cases for an updated total of 491 cases
- 09/19: 54 new cases for an updated total of 263 cases
- 09/20: 22 new cases for an updated total of 301 cases
Several cases are still under investigation. Additional information from ongoing investigations will be incorporated into future COVID-19 updates. Of those cases with complete information announced for today and previous days, there are two hundred and five individuals under the age of 18 and the rest are adults with 54% being female and 46% being male. The new cases reside in Rockingham (161), Hillsborough County other than Manchester and Nashua (106), Merrimack (81), Belknap (53), Strafford (52), Coos (45), Cheshire (42), Grafton (40), Sullivan (35), and Carroll (16) counties, and in the cities of Manchester (50) and Nashua (45). The county of residence is being determined for fifty-two new cases.
DHHS has also announced three additional deaths related to COVID-19. We offer our sympathies to the family and friends.
- 1 male resident of Hillsborough County, 60 years of age and older
- 1 male resident of Rockingham County, 60 years of age and older
- 1 male resident of Strafford County, 60 years of age and older
There are currently 142 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19. In New Hampshire since the start of the pandemic, there have been a total of 116,710 cases of COVID-19 diagnosed.
