New or Updated COVID-19 Resources

Hi, everyone,

As the web pages and contacts for information about COVID-19 are updated, or changed, or moved, and new ones are appearing, I thought I would send along an update on current sources of information.

COVID-19:  The Disease and Your Health: NH Department of Health and Human Services site, updated daily—Latest statisitcs, progression of the disease in NH, current information on best practices (CDC has now suggested wearing a cloth mask in public, in addition to the existing social distancing guidelines) links to Center for Disease Control and World Health Organization, Governor’s Emergency Orders, and much more, updated daily:  https://www.nh.gov/covid19/

NH Unemployment Security:  People have had great difficulty getting in touch with Unemployment Security.  They are currently processing as many applications in a week as they normally do in a year, so keep trying.  The web site capacity has been enhanced, so they are now recommending you start there, but if you have difficulty on the web site, call 271-7700, and keep trying.  https://www.nhes.nh.gov

NH Insurance Department:  COVID-19 Insurance Information:  https://www.nh.gov/insurance/consumers/health.htm

Frequently Asked Questions: https://www.nh.gov/insurance/consumers/health-insurance-coronavirus-faq.htm

Other questions, complaints, and claims reviews:  https://www.nh.gov/insurance/index.htm

NH Department of Business and Economic Affairs:  BEC now has a comprehensive page with all kinds of links for businesses, but also unemployment information as well: https://businesshelp.nheconomy.com/hc/en-us

NH Small Business Development Corporation:  Small business recommendations in perhaps a more user-friendly format:  https://www.nhsbdc.org/covid-19-assistance

SBA Loans and Recovery Programs:  SBA Disaster Loan Applications:  https://www.sba.gov/page/disaster-loan-applications

NH SBA Office:  https://www.sba.gov/offices/district/nh/concord  

Business and Industry Association:  The BIA now has a comprehensive COVID-19 page with links to all kinds of resources for employers/businesses.  https://www.biaofnh.com/covid19.html
