The state said 84 people were hospitalized while 95.9 percent of all infections have recovered (90,298). There are currently 2,611 cases in the state. Out of 1.36 million New Hampshire residents, 25.7 percent have received two doses of vaccines while another 45.8 percent have received a single dose. The state said 52.5 percent of residents have been tested at least once while 2.13 million tests have been administered in New Hampshire.
Colleges and universities have 77 active cases — including 25 at Plymouth State University, 21 at UNH in Durham, and 13 at Keene State College.
There are 193 active cases connected to the K-12 school setting in New Hampshire — including 15 onsite clusters.

Sixteen other schools have single cases.
J&J Shots To Restart Sunday
The state is opening three fixed sites beginning Sunday for the J&J Jansen COVID-19 vaccine appointments.
The clinics, which will be held in Concord at the Steeplegate Mall, Nashua at the Pheasant Lane Mall, and Newington at the Mall at Fox Run, are not walk-in facilities. Everyone must make an appointment via the state's vaccine website. Around 4,500 shots are expected to take place at the three locations between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The J&J vaccine is only available to people who are 18 and older.
Only individuals who have a confirmed appointment with the State of New Hampshire will be able to receive the vaccine, the state said on Tuesday.
The J&J vaccine was stopped after a number of people died due to blood clots.

Stop The Spread Of COVID-19
The COVID-19 virus is spread through respiratory droplets, usually through coughing and sneezing, and exposure to others who are sick or might be showing symptoms.
Health officials emphasize residents should follow these recommendations:
- Avoid any domestic and international travel, especially on public transportation such as buses, trains, and airplanes.
- Practice social distancing. Stay at least 6 feet from other people, including distancing while in waiting areas or lines.
- When you can't practice 6 feet of social distancing, wear a face covering.
- Anyone who is told to self-quarantine and stay at home due to exposure to a person with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 needs to not go out to public places.
- If you are 60 years or older or have chronic and underlying health conditions, you need to stay home and not go out.
- Avoid gatherings of 10 people or more.
- Employers should work from home as much as possible.
- There is increasing evidence that the virus can survive for hours or possibly days on surfaces. People should clean frequently touched surfaces, including door handles, grocery carts, and grocery basket handles, etc.
Take the same precautions as you would if you were sick:
- Stay home and avoid public places.
- Wear a face covering.
- Cover mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing.
- Wash hands frequently.
- Disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
