CONCORD — A majority of Democrats in the N.H. House of Representatives on Thursday wrote Gov. Chris Sununu, urging him to adopt an order requiring people to wear masks in public when they are unable to do social distancing.
Noting that wearing a mask in public is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control as critical to reducing the spread of COVID-19, the letter says, “We believe that an order temporarily requiring face coverings in public is necessary for the successful reopening of New Hampshire’s economy.”
