Connecticut on Wednesday reported its second consecutive day of a postive coronavirus test rate above 3%, marking a slight increase from last week.
The state on Wednesday reported 1,493 newly identified COVID-19 cases out of 47,512 tests administered, for a positivity rate of 3.14%. On Tuesday, the state reported a positivity rate of 3.9%, which was the highest the state had seen in three weeks.
However, the above-3% rates have only held for two days, which is not long enough to determine a trendline. The state’s numbers in the coming days will either cement the uptick as a trend or prove it to be a blip.
