CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — With coronavirus case counts on the decline and fewer hospitalizations in New Hampshire, the governor’s reopening task force is looking ahead to summer and is recommending updated guidance for camp operators that includes keeping children in small groups and more preparation for arrivals and pickups.

Gov. Chris Sununu would need to approve the recommendations.

The task force also recommended lifting some restrictions for restaurants and bars on the use of pool and billiard tables, dartboards, and karaoke. The group also plans to include new members from industries that have been hit particularly hard, such as performing arts and outdoor entertainment venues, and the wedding industry.
