GORHAM — In light of the high number of COVID-19 cases in Coos County, the Gorham Board of Selectmen on Monday voted unanimously to extend the town’s emergency mask mandate ordinance for another two weeks until Monday, Nov. 22.

Chairman Mike Waddell and selectmen Judy LeBlanc and Adam White had voted to impose a two-week mask-up order at its Oct. 25 meeting, after both CEO Ken Gordon of Coos County Family Health Services and CEO/president Mike Peterson of Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin made in-person visits to the board’s Oct. 25 meeting. Both CEOs wore masks as did everyone else in the town hall meeting room.
