CONCORD – The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has issued the following update on the new coronavirus, COVID-19.

On Thursday, May 27, 2021, DHHS announced 105 new positive test results for COVID-19. Today’s results include 62 people who tested positive by PCR test and 43 who tested positive by antigen test. Additionally, 42 historical cases (1 by PCR test and 41 by antigen test) from May 20-25 are being reported today due to an electronic laboratory reporting delay. There are now 494 current COVID-19 cases diagnosed in New Hampshire.

Several cases are still under investigation. Additional information from ongoing investigations will be incorporated into future COVID-19 updates. Of those with complete information, there are thirty-nine individuals under the age of 18 and the rest are adults with 48% being female and 52% being male. The new cases reside in Hillsborough County other than Manchester and Nashua (21), Rockingham (20), Strafford (20), Cheshire (17), Merrimack (15), Belknap (10), Grafton (6), Coos (5), Sullivan (3), and Carroll (2) counties, and in the cities of Nashua (13) and Manchester (5). The county of residence is being determined for ten new cases.

Community-based transmission continues to occur in the State and has been identified in all counties. Of those with complete risk information, most of the cases have either had close contact with a person with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis or are associated with an outbreak setting.

DHHS has also announced three additional deaths related to COVID-19. We offer our sympathies to the family and friends.

· 1 male resident of Rockingham County, fewer than 60 years of age
