CT Coronavirus Updates: Positive Test Rate Ties 5-Month High

CONNECTICUT — The newest data from the state Department of Public Health reveals a mixed bag of news.

On the plus side is the fact the number of COVID-19 related hospitalizations decreased by seven over the past 24 hours to 184 patients.

The unfortunate news is that Connecticut matched its previous five-month high positivity rate at 2.4 percent. A total of 802 new coronavirus cases were reported out of 33,048 tests. Another two coronavirus related deaths were reported, which brings that number to 4,542 since the pandemic began.

Connecticut has recorded 62,830 coronavirus cases since the pandemic began in March.
