New Hampshire became the first New England state Friday to drop the mask mandate after Republican Gov. Chris Sununu declined to renew the order on Thursday.

“As fatalities continue to decline, as hospitalizations remain manageable, and as vaccinations continue to increase, the state’s mask mandate will not be renewed tomorrow,” Sununu tweeted Thursday.

“This mandate going away will not limit or prevent the ability of private businesses or cities and towns from requiring masks, as was the case beforehand. New Hampshire residents know how to keep ourselves and our neighbors safe without a state mandate –just as we did before the winter surge.”

Beginning on May 7, the state will also drop other coronavirus restrictions on retail and restaurants under the “Safer at Home”
