Connecticut officials on Tuesday were reviewing new recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control that even vaccinated people return to wearing masks indoors, noting two counties — Hartford and New London — are close to the CDC's threshold.
Max Reiss, communications director for Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont, said the governor's office and the Department of Public Health will provide updates in the coming days on mask-wearing. In the meantime, people most at risk of coronavirus infection should consider wearing masks.
“Even in states that have some of the lowest infection rates in the country, vaccinated people who are immunocompromised, otherwise considered high-risk, live with individuals who are high-risk or with unvaccinated children, may want to consider wearing masks in indoor public settings,” he said in a statement.
