CONNECTICUT — Connecticut on Tuesday reported another 94 coronavirus cases out of 7,638 test results for a positive test rate of around 1.2 percent. That is a slightly higher rate than the past several days, but it remains among the lowest in the nation.
Another five deaths were reported, which brought the total up to 4,423 statewide. Hospitalizations dropped by five patients down to a net of 54.
Gov. Ned Lamont warned of growing concern of the virus being spread by young adults and teenagers, which seems to be a national and now statewide trend. People between the ages of 20 and 29 had the highest infection rate between July 12 and 18 in Connecticut.
