Potential Coronavirus Outbreak In Windham Under Investigation

WINDHAM, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services is investigating a possible outbreak of the new coronavirus they say could be tied to events hosted by Windham Crossing Life Church.

In a release, health officials said a YouthStorm, Inc., camp event was hosted by the church from July 16 to 18. Since then, 16 people have been diagnosed with the virus in connection to the event.

The DHHS urged the public to avoid events at the church throughout the next week while the investigation is underway.

Anyone who has attended a church event since July 10 is urged to get tested for the coronavirus during an upcoming testing event on Monday from 5 to 7 p.m. To register for the event, residents must call 603-271-5980 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday.

Other testing events will also be held for those who cannot attend the Monday event. More information for residents without health insurance or a primary doctor can be found by calling (603) 271-598 or visiting the DHHS website.
