ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — Normal is not a word that generally gets people excited. But for local health care providers and school officials with positive cases of COVID-19 remaining low, the gradual return to normal functions and activities is a welcomed relief.

Students are back in school without masks and gearing up for spring sports and activities. The Senior Meals site in Berlin is opening up for congregate meals and socialization at a limited capacity. White Mountains Community College is planning next month’s outdoor graduation ceremony. Androscoggin Valley Hospital is allowing visitors. The return of such normal activities is greeted with joyous optimism that the worst of the pandemic is over.
