Good news and bad news in Salem today: The number of active cases went down by a net of another three, but one is a new infection.
The number of recovered cases went down by 14. Salem’s active cases are a net -2 active cases, so 3 of the 14 were from Salem.
Good news in NH: The number of new cases is still pretty stable, the positive cases are only 2.3% of all tests, and there were no new hospitalizations and no new deaths reported during the time frame covered by this update.
Sad news today in NH: of 30 positive cases, six were children under the age of 18.
According to Worldometer, the number of infections across the world has now passed 13 million. It seems like only yesterday that we reached 12 million, but it was way back to Tuesday.
The number of new cases and deaths, globally and in the US, while staggering, are not as high as they were yesterday (Worldometer).
With numbers being pretty stagnant in NH, it’s getting hard to find details to spotlight. And that, too, is a good thing!
