Q: How many residents of Litchfield have the virus.any near my area .
A:
Due to medical information privacy laws (commonly known as HIPAA) the only information allowed to be released to the public is what is being released by the State of NH Department of Health. As of 3/31 the State has Litchfield listed as having 5 – 10 individuals who have tested positive.
I would note that the State’s number is of cumulative positive results per community and not necessarily current cases. ie. some individuals may be beyond the contagious / symptomatic time frame.
