Fact & Fiction
We know there is a lot of information floating around about the COVID-19 outbreak, and a lot of the seemingly credible sources are actually misinforming people. We want you all to keep track of information from the most credible sources, like the World Health Organization and the CDC, rather than looking to notoriously untrustworthy news sites. Here are some websites you SHOULD look at if you want the most accurate, up to date information on the Coronavirus:
World Health Organization
Centers for Disease Control
NH Department of Health and Human Services
Local information is also put together and posted on the Town of Lancaster Police Department’s Facebook Page, and the Town’s Emergency Management and Resident Notice website pages. Find them here:
Lancaster PD Facebook

There are also many amazing people offering their services to create positive change during the COVID-19 outbreak, but many are using their skills maliciously and taking advantage of people’s vulnerabilities and anxieties during this time. Please be extra vigilant when visiting sites that are offering coronavirus updates -- hackers can steal your information like login credentials. Also be cautious when you receive emails from unknown individuals with links to click. We recommend deleting any email you get from an unknown individual BEFORE opening it. If you have any questions on whether an offer for help or information received is valid or not please contact the Lancaster Police Department at 603-788-4402
Be safe out there everyone. Stay healthy. We will get through these trying times together!
