New Hampshire implementing enhanced testing in long-term care facilities

With COVID-19 outbreaks now confirmed at 16 long-term care facilities in New Hampshire, state health officials are implementing a plan for increased and ongoing testing. The plan involves contracting with the company Convenient MD to test all facility residents and staff as soon as possible to establish a baseline. A representative from the New Hampshire Health Care Association commented that the key will be frequent, ongoing testing for staff, as asymptomatic staff carrying the virus are the most significant threat to these facilities. #covid-19
