Connecticut reported an increase of 315 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, the lowest number of new infections reported “in weeks,” Gov. Ned Lamont said in a news conference.
There are at least 26,312 cases of Covid-19 in the state.
Hospitalizations were slightly down on Tuesday. There were 1,732 hospitalizations in the state, a decrease of 26 since Monday.
The big curves in the state — which occurred mostly in the southern portion — are continuing to “bend down,” the governor said, though he, and the state’s Public Health Department’s top epidemiologist, Dr. Matthew Carter, stressed that the numbers are still high.
Lamont also noted that the unemployment rate in Connecticut is currently north of 20% — the likes of which the state hasn’t seen “since the Great Depression.”
