Coronavirus Information

March 9, 2020

The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is still developing. Our state leaders will be providing more updates as they become available, but in the meantime, be sure to take necessary precautions that have been shared over the last few weeks to take care of your health and protect others.

For the latest information, resources, and guidance related to coronavirus (COVID-19), visit ct.gov/coronavirus.

The CDC has great resources on how to prepare for COVID19 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/home/index.html

  • Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • Avoid shaking hands as a greeting. A simple head nod or elbow bump achieves the same goal.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

There is also a travel advisory for countries with high rates of COVID19, get the most updated information here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/index.html
