ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — As active cases of COVID-19 continue to go down in the Androscoggin Valley, local health care providers are increasingly optimistic that the trend will remain stable. Health care providers are gradually loosening restrictions and allowing visitors and opening waiting rooms.

The state Friday reported five positive cases in Berlin and 19 in all of Coos County although some home test results may not be reported. But as the demands levied by COVID-19 subside, higher than average numbers of cases of flu and strep are being reported. At its Thursday meeting, the COVID community group encouraged the public to continue practicing good prevention measures and hygiene since the other contagious illnesses are circulating.
