Health Commissioner Lori Shibinette says restrictions are being loosened a bit for long-term care facilities in three New Hampshire counties that have maintained very low coronavirus numbers for at least two weeks

. She said facilities in Belknap, Coos and Grafton counties can now increase the number of visitors indoors to two per resident. Some rules also have been loosened regarding communal dining and other activities.

Also, New Hampshire officials are planning to increase attendance slightly at amusement parks from 25% to 35% with social distancing guidelines still in effect. Gov. Chris Sununu said there haven’t been any major outbreaks to report from the venues.
