CONWAY — The valley was flooded with tourists this summer and now that many have left, the question remains, did they leave behind a trail of COVID-19?
The answer, generally, is no, though there has been a small increase, with Memorial Hospital recording one new case over the weekend, though no one currently hospitalized with the virus.

I want an apology from every fear-mongering conway resident who demanded we second home owners stay out of 'their state'. Fools.
So how many positive tests results of out-of-state residents were received here in N.H.? Is the State not allowing the disclosure of this information?
This article DOES NOT provide sufficient facts. Go back to the source and report the TOTAL number of positives received by the State. Why has the CONWAY DAILY SUN not reported this information? Do not be a partner in manipulating data. Are you just a tourist paper or a resource for our local communities?
Large percentages of our visitors (second homeowners, campers, etc.) have two or more addresses. How many people are living here with positive test results whose tests were recorded in other states? ALL POSITIVE test results received at a testing site should be published by the state and that information should be available to the local community. ALL POSITIVE TESTS SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC. The State is manipulating the public by not fully disclosing and publishing all information.
