Connecticut on Monday reported 560 new coronavirus cases over the weekend and again reported a positive coronavirus test rate of just over 1% — but the numbers remain low here in comparison with some other states, where spiking infections have led to concern from top White House infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci.
“You don’t want to be in a position like that as the weather starts getting cold,” Fauci told Good Morning America. "So we really need to intensify the public health measures that we talk about all the time.”
Fauci referenced rising case numbers in a number of states and said that he had hoped the country would be in a better position before cold weather pushes more gatherings and events into riskier indoor settings.
