State offers masks to businesses preparing to open

Businesses in need of disposable masks are now able to request masks from the State of New Hampshire. Masks are provided to New Hampshire businesses at no cost. It is the responsibility of the business to reorder masks as needed.
Masks will be delivered to Division of Motor Vehicle offices, including in Dover, for pickup by businesses.
To request masks and arrange for pickup, visit  here.
As part of a phased opening of businesses this month, state health officials are requiring employees to wear masks.
State health officials  recommend all Granite Staters wear cloth face coverings   when outside of the home to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. This advice is based on new data about how COVID-19 can spread before a person has any symptoms.

The Department of Business and Economic Affairs is conducting a confidential survey of New Hampshire businesses to gather information about how your business is meeting the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Local company offering PPE as economy re-opens

GlobalTek, a supply chain company located here in Dover, has small-business-sized packages of Personal Protective Equipment available for sale to local businesses as they begin to re-open. The small business pack consists of 6 face shields and 100 three-ply surgical masks. GlobalTek can mail the packets ($135) or they can be picked up at the company's headquarters on Industrial Park Drive ($125). Because they are not set up as a retail operation, payment must be made ahead of time via check or PayPal.
