CONCORD — As anxious residents wait for their turn at a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine, Gov. Chris Sununu visited a Londonderry vaccination site Tuesday to see how it was operating and then held a press briefing in Concord to go over the latest information.
The briefing came with good news — the number of new cases is going down; deaths are slowing, as are hospitalizations; and there were no new outbreaks this week at long-term care facilities while people are moving in droves to apply to get the vaccine.
