The COVID-19 pandemic in New Hampshire is part of an ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the U.S. state of New Hampshire. The first confirmed case was reported on March 2, 2020.[2] A state of emergency was declared March 13, which included a ban on gatherings of 50 or more people.[3] A small group filed a lawsuit claiming the order infringed on their right to assemble and worship;[4] a judge dismissed the suit.[3] On March 26, all nonessential businesses were closed and Governor Chris Sununu advised people to only leave home for essential necessities.[5] That stay-at-home order was extended several times before being allowed to expire on June 15.[6] Through November 22, a total of 74 emergency orders had been issued by Sununu.[7] Sununu lifted the mask mandate as of April 16, 2021.

On March 29, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) launched a dashboard with daily updates regarding the spread of the coronavirus in the state.[8] Counts as of the first day of each month have been reported as follows:
