CONCORD — New Hampshire will end its statewide mask mandate today.
Gov. Chris Sununu said he feels comfortable letting the temporary “thou shalt mask” mandate expire on April 15 given the fact that 70 percent of residents have signed up to get a vaccine, the daily death toll has come down dramatically and hospitals have the capacity to handle more patients with adequate staffing and supplies compared to November when he imposed the executive order.
The governor’s move seems a bit premature- kind of like doing your touchdown dance on the 5 yard line instead of waiting until you actually get into the end zone. Better to wait until 70% of the population is actually vaccinated. The appointments themselves don’t prevent COVID from spreading
Hopefully this move will put pressure on Janet Mills here in Maine because I won't spend a dime here if I can go where there is a return to normalcy. Cheers to great leadership.
