CT Reopening Plan, Tell Us What You Think: Survey

CONNECTICUT — Gov. Ned Lamont had laid out Connecticut's reopening plan, which starts May 20, with a limited business reopening. Businesses like hair salons and barbershops will reopen, but with restrictions to encourage as much social distancing as possible.

Restaurants will be allowed to serve dine-in customers in outdoor spaces only. Similarly, museums and zoos can reopen their outdoor areas. Small retail stores can reopen as well.

Some workers who haven't already can return to the office, but telecommuting is still encouraged whenever possible.

Summer camps will be allowed to open June 29 with very specific reopening guidelines. Nail salons were originally included in the state's May 20 reopening plan but that is no longer the case.

State officials announced the reopening plan for higher education on May 6. Under ideal conditions, residential colleges would be able to reopen in the fall. A gradual reopening for the summer is also being allowed.

Connecticut Patch has put together a reader survey about various aspects of reopening, and we'd like to hear your thoughts. Responses will be taken until May 12 at 5 p.m.
