The spokesperson told Seacoast Current on Monday that five residents and four staff members at the long-term care facility had tested positive in just the previous two days. Four days after that announcement, just one more positive case, announced Friday, was identified.
New Hampshire health officials had reported 15 cases at the facility as of November 5, but that number nearly doubled over the following weekend, according to data released by the spokesperson.
All residents and family members had been notified, the spokesperson said, and the facility will be conducting weekly testing until no positive tests come back in a 14-day span.
As of November 5, approximately 81.5% of deaths related to COVID-19 in New Hampshire have been attributed to long-term care settings, according to state health officials. There have been no known deaths associated with the outbreak at St. Ann.
