Connecticut back to Phase 2.1 of Covid-19 protocol

Due to the increased spread of the coronavirus Governor Lamont has moved Connecticut back to Phase 2.1 of the Covid-19 protocol.

Under Phase 2.1 rules restaurants, entertainment and recreation and commercial venues will have a 10pm closing time 7 days a week. Restaurants, indoor performing arts theaters, graduations, religious gatherings and indoor recreation venues are capped at 50% capacity. Indoor and outdoor private social and recreational gatherings at private residences are capped at 10 people. Private, social and recreational gatherings at commercial venues are capped at 25 people. Personal services and libraries can still function at 75% capacity with additional precautions. Employees are encouraged to maximize telework whenever possible and residents over 65 are urged to stay home as much as possible.

These measures are intended to help curb the spread of Covid-19.
