On June 11, 2020, Governor Sununu announced that the New Hampshire Stay at Home Order expires June 15th. In its place, a “Safer at Home” advisory will be issued, eliminating any restrictions on group gatherings and removing the distinction between essential and non-essential businesses.

Additional industries will also be allowed to reopen on June 15th. Among those will be:

• Health and Fitness Centers, at 50% capacity or limiting the number of people in order to maintain a minimum of 6 feet of distance from each other while in workout rooms, and to wear face masks while not working out. See guidance here.
