WASHINGTON, D.C.— U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan heard from North Country officials that while positive COVID-19 cases are few, the financial impact is tough for a region where margins were already tight before the pandemic.

Hassan opened up the roundtable conference call by noting it is the time of year that normally is the start of the busy travel and tourism season. She said businesses and officials are trying to figure out how to make the season happen even in a modified fashion. Hassan also cited challenges to health care providers as hospitals start to reschedule elective procedures and schools try to plan for summer and fall sessions.
