(Government response for May)

On May 6, Sununu announced a new online COVID-19 testing registration portal. Residents with COVID-19 symptoms, underlying health conditions, age over 60, or are healthcare workers can use the portal to request testing without medical referral. This portal supplements existing means for requesting tests, which are through healthcare providers or by calling the COVID-19 Coordinating Office. More than 2,200 residents requested testing within the first 24 hours of the portal’s launch. Additionally, due to the stabilizing of the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent transition to containment, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) recommended on May 7 that health service providers administer testing to all patients with at least mild symptoms of COVID-19.
