This will appear in the List Serv in the morning, I am sure, but I wanted to pass it along as soon as I received it. I had added the other updates to the original story but thought this one should be separate so that it can be seen and not buried in a previous story.

Here is the update

* 03/16/20
- Gov. Scott restricted all public gatherings to either 50 people or 50% occupancy, whichever is less.
- Gov. Scott ordered the closure of all bars and restaurants statewide. Establishments may only offer food takeout and delivery service effective @ 2p 03/17 to 4/06. NH restaurants and bars will also close 3/17.
- Marion Cross School closed until 4/03
- Norwich Rec closed until 4/20
- Norwich library closed

The Agency of Human Services is working with the Agency of Education to create guidance for childcare facilities.

All 50 states have now declared a State of Emergency.
