The state said today its Westport COVID-19 case count was down one at 369 (354 confirmed and 15 probable) while the number of deaths was unchanged at 23.
Gov. Ned Lamont carefully walked through a COVID-19 briefing today, first fretting over the statistical significance of a small-but-steady increase in infections, then expressing optimism over the number of children safely resuming classroom instruction.
The state reported 220 infections out of 13,857 new tests, a positive rate of 1.6%. It is a number that Lamont called “concerning,” more because of its steady upward drift than the significance of a one-day spike.
“That’s still one of the lowest in the country, but it is a trend,” Lamont said. He added later, “Let us track what seems to be going on.”
