CONNECTICUT — Connecticut saw its lowest single-day coronavirus death report in months with just eight new deaths Monday. However, the state is approaching another sad milestone, as a total of 3,972 have died since the pandemic struck Connecticut.
The infection rate among those tested remained low, Gov. Ned Lamont said. A total of 239 positive cases out of 9,252 test results were reported. Hospitalizations dropped by a net of 20 patients, bringing the total to 434 currently hospitalized.
Lamont addressed a photo that circulated on social media of him posing with another customer at an outdoor restaurant when both weren’t wearing masks.

“I was having lunch outside in Stamford the other day and someone asked me to stand up and I stood up, they took a quick picture and I sat down,” Lamont said. “I probably should have had my mask because I’m the governor, I should be setting an example.”
He said he wears a mask when indoors and in public and wears a mask outdoors as necessary per his own executive order.
