In case you missed it, below you will find a few updates from this week. I hope you find them helpful.

To help you and our neighbors stay up-to-date on the ever-evolving stream of information related to current events, I am compiling a few of the things that I've worked on this past week, as well as an update on Phase 2 plans for several sectors in the state starting June 17.
In this update you will find:

Hospital on COVID-19 and the MIS-C, the inflammatory disorder related to COVID.
DMV Extensions
PPP Update
Phase 2

I sat down for a reassuring conversation with Dr. Matthew Grossman, Pediatrician from Yale New Haven Children's Hospital to discuss COVID-19 and the MIS-C, an inflammatory disorder related to COVID. While much is still unknown, it was good to discuss what's ahead. Please take a look.

I would like to share a recap of some of last week’s highlights. Below you can find information on the following topics:

Reopening Summer Schools Safely
In-Person Graduation Ceremonies
Phase 2 Re-Opening for Businesses
COVID-19 Antibody Testing
CTDOL Suitable Work Requirements

George Floyd's killing in Minneapolis has shaken the country to its core. Cities across our state have been holding protests and rallies to express outrage over his death and the injustices against African American citizens.

Diane Pappacoda from Branford Early Learning Center is widely known for her reputation of connecting families with the resources they need during these COVID-19 times. I am proud to recognize her in this week's update as a Community Hero. Please take a look at our Zoom chat below.

Individuals participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) with transportation challenges have struggled with their food shopping needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As we wrap another week amid the Covid challenges, I want to share with you a few important updates that I hope you will find helpful.
