ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — Local health-care providers are expecting a large surge in positive COVID-19 cases in the valley and residents are urged to take steps to prepare for it.

Positive COVID-19 cases are soaring in New Hampshire with the state reporting 2,093 positive cases on Jan. 7 and an average of 1,800 cases per day from Jan. 1-7, an increase of 42 percent over the previous week. The state figures show Coos County has seen 172 new positive cases over the two-week period ending Jan. 7 and authorities feel that number is low because many people are using at-home rapid tests and do not always report positive results.
