The number of hospitalizations is also increasing,” said state epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan. Covid-19 is still prevalent in Granite State, although the numbers are lower than before. “The number of deaths from COVID-19 is averaging less than one person per day,” Chan said. In July, an average of five people were admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 treatment each day in New Hampshire.

The University of New Hampshire and the State Department of Health and Human Services participated in a formal sampling program. “We sample the wastewater twice a week, which he does, and the state takes that and uses it as an indicator of how COVID-19 is doing in the pandemic,” McNeil said. “Take it to the lab and test it to get some idea of the level of virus detected in the wastewater,” Chan said. Chan said the focus is shifting away from just the novel coronavirus, and that as we enter autumn, or “respiratory virus season,” as Chan calls it, people need to be more vigilant about disease prevention. Ways to prevent illness also include receiving the latest novel coronavirus information – 19 vaccines to be released in the next few months, the latest flu vaccines on sale now, people over 60 A new RSV vaccine for children and a new RSV monoclonal antibody therapy for neonates and infants. Chan said people should talk to their health care providers and ask what is best for them.
