Editor’s note: This story will be updated when Gov. Sununu responds to a question about the data he mentions in the release.
This morning, Governor Chris Sununu and DHHS announced Phase 2 of state seacoast beaches reopening. This will allow for sunbathing and other traditional beach activities on seacoast beaches effective immediately.
“We have always said we will be nimble and make decisions when public health data supports decision making,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “We worked with public health and came up with a solution supported by data. We would like to thank everyone for their patience. Beachgoers will still need to remain 6 feet from other groups.”
NOTE: The parking restrictions to limit the numbers of groups on the beach will be maintained at current levels.
