The Republican governor of New Hampshire is urging people to wear masks to stop the spread of COVID-19 after state Rep. and House Speaker Dick Hinch died from the virus.
Hinch, 71, was found dead in his home on December 9, one week after he accepted a nomination for New Hampshire's speaker of the house at an outdoor swearing-in ceremony, an event that hundreds of people attended and many opted not to wear masks, The Washington Post reported.
