EAST HAMPTON — The remains at the yellow COVID-19 alert level, as its case rate continues decline.
East Hampton had nine new confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the last two weeks, which brings the two-week average daily positivity rate to 5 per 100,000 population, according to a press release, which cites data from the Connecticut Department of Public Health.
The two-week rate equates to less than one new case each day, Chatham Health Director Russell Melmed said in a news release. Residents are urged to continue safe practices to protect themselves and others. A significant part of the effort to be safer and to eliminate the need for masks is the vaccine, he said.
