CONCORD — At least one House member has tested positive for COVID-19 after attending all three long session days in Representatives Hall last week, according an email sent to some members who sat within a 6- to 7-foot radius of the infected member.
The email was sent last Saturday morning at 10 a.m. by Aaron Goulette, chief of staff of the New Hampshire House of Representatives.
