In Walpole, we have had only 1 new case this week, and there remain 1-4reported active cases in town.
Today, it was reported that NH has seen 3 reported cases of COVID in persons who were fully vaccinated. Please remember that vaccination is NOT 100% against transmission of the disease. A few vaccinated people will still contract the disease. And the person who contracts the disease may be asymptomatic, and never know they have the disease, which increases the chance that they might pass it on to others, unknowingly.
So please continue to take good care of yourselves and each other, and keep well.
