CONCORD – Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig and her family are self-isolating at home after her oldest daughter tested positive for COVID-19, tweeting it is a reminder that the virus isn’t of concern only to people over age 60.

Craig tested negative and her daughter, who recently returned from studying abroad, tested positive, but both were asymptomatic, Craig said in a statement. It’s a good reminder to all to stay home, she said.

“This is an important reminder that people of all ages can get this virus and that many people carrying COVID-19 may be asymptomatic,” Craig said. “Nobody is safe from COVID-19, which is why it’s important that people stay home.”

Unlike other states, New Hampshire does not release information about the age of those who test positive, except for a vague reference in the three fatal cases to say they were older than 60. The state has a total of 158 positive tests as of Sunday.

Other states release the ages in groupings by decade, including Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut.

In Massachusetts, there have been 48 COVID-19 deaths and 4,955 who tested positive. More people in their 20s and 30s have tested positive for COVID-19 in Massachusetts than those in their 70s and older, according to the website.
