2-1-1- Can Help With COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Questions

March 13, 2020

For the most up-to-date information from the State of Connecticut on COVID-19, including guidance and other resources, all residents in the state are encouraged to visit ct.gov/coronavirus.

If you have general questions that are not answered on the website call 2-1-1 for assistance. The information line is available 24 hours a day and has multilingual assistance and TDD/TTY access for those with a hearing impairment. The hotline is only intended to be used by individuals who are not experiencing symptoms but may have general questions related to COVID-19. Anyone experiencing symptoms is strongly urged to contact their medical provider to seek treatment.

Additionally, Bristol Hospital and Hartford Hospital have announced they will soon start drive through testing sites. If you have been laid off from your job, please file an unemployment claim ASAP with the Department of Labor https://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/HP/UIServices.htm.

Also, the Legislative Office Building will be closed to the public until further notice. If you would like to speak to me or any other legislator, please call (203 520 1794) or email (kerry.wood@cga.ct.gov). If you're tracking a bill and would like to submit testimony electronically, email the committees where your bill is being heard.
