MONTPELIER, Vt. — Vermont Gov. Phil Scott on Friday banned multiple household social gatherings, suspended recreational sports, closed bars and social clubs effective Saturday and took other strong measures to curb COVID-19 as the surge in cases continues.

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu didn’t immediately respond when asked about the Vermont measures. At a press conference Thursday, he warned that worse days are ahead for the state, but not bad enough to take additional actions.
