CONCORD: Hospitals across New Hampshire will require employees to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, and New Hampshire Hospital Association officials said they support the move by its 30 member hospitals to optimize the safety of care for patients and to protect the lives of healthcare workers. Steve Ahnen, the association’s president, said the pandemic has had a devastating impact not just on patients but hospital staff. Before vaccines were available, staff who were exposed or infected were unable to work, harming the ability of hospitals to staff and care for all patients.

CONCORD: New Hampshire has paused some eviction cases in Hillsborough, Rockingham and Strafford counties to comply with a new eviction moratorium from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The extension applies through Oct. 3, and other counties could be included if the pandemic surges in the future.

CONCORD: Despite a year under the pandemic cloud, the state took in nearly $3 billion in revenues for the recently completed fiscal 2021 year.

Official figures will not be available until the official audit is completed, usually by the end of December.
