Among the steps being taken to slow the spread of COVID-19:
- Schools will begin the academic year via distance learning until at least October 1
- Most public spaces, such as fields and the town and state boat launches are closed
- WCSU and NVCC also starting school year online
Why has the virus spread in Danbury?
The increase in infections has been traced to several sources:
- People who returned to Danbury after international travel or travel to a state considered to be high risk
- Summer sports
- Large social gatherings
- The extended power outage after Tropical Storm Isaias
What you can do:
- Get tested
- Afterwards, stay home until you get a negative result
- If the test is positive, self-quarantine and cooperate with contact tracers
- Isolate as much as possible
Practicing the recommended health guidelines remains the best approach to leveling the spike and slowing the spread of COVID-19. I want to thank the Governor for helping to get the word out.
