As you and your organization respond to ongoing changes in COVID-19 guidelines and ways of doing business, we are here to support you.
The State of New Hampshire has estabilished a COVID-19 webpage where you can find the latest updates on cases, and find information for COVID-19 testing, vaccines and steps you should take if you are exposed to the virus.
COVID-19 Vaccines
Any person aged 12 and older, regardless of residency, is eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in New Hampshire. Visit www.vaccines.nh.gov to schedule an appointment. You can also call 2-1-1 if you have questions about COVID-19 and want to talk to someone.
OSHA is developing a rule that will require all businesses with 100 or more employees to mandate COVID-19 vaccines, or require unvaccinated employees to be tested for COVID-19 weekly. Bookmark this page to read updates on this subject.
Do you have less than 100 employees, and you're not sure how to address the COVID-19 vaccine in the workplace? Watch our COVID-19 Vaccination Information for Employers webinar presented by Sheehan Phinney Bass & Green PA attorneys.
Looking to offer vaccinations at your workplace? New Hampshire's Department of Heath and Human Services is accepting requests for their mobile vaccine van. Bookings are available for any size group at no cost. Learn more and apply online.
Have you been vaccinated against COVID-19? The CDC shared this helpful guidance about what's safe for vaccinated people to do.
Best Practices
New Hampshire emergency mask mandate has expired, as well as the City of Concord's mask ordinance. However, businesses and individuals are encouraged to follow New Hampshire's universal best practices.
As a member of the NH Commerce Corridor, we are also pleased to offer a summary of these best practices.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has set up a webpage to track COVID-19 data by county. Merrimack County has been defined as an area of substantial transmittion of the virus. The CDC recommends that all individuals wear a mask in public indoor settings in this region.
Does your business encourage or require face masks? The NH Commerce Corridor has created signage and graphics for you to use to promote safety guidelines. Contact the Chamber at (603) 224-2508 if you are interested in obtaining disposable face masks or gloves. Supplies are limited.
