Here are the top stories in Glastonbury today:

Town Discontinues Mask Requirement For Public Places

Glastonbury Moves to Orange Zone for 2nd Consecutive Reporting Period

Information via the town:

For Glastonbury, new cases totaled 13.3 per 100,000 population effective with the September 23rd report and 12.8 with the September 30th report. These results place Glastonbury below the red zone for the second consecutive reporting period and present a downward trend in reported new cases. Based on this information, the local mask requirement effective September 2, 2021 is discontinued as of 8 a.m. Saturday, October 2, 2021.

Results published by the CT DPH will continue to be monitored and masking requirements amended as applicable.

Please note the mask requirement remains in place for Town buildings including Town Hall, Library, Riverfront Community Center and others. A decision concerning Town buildings will be considered separate from the Town-wide mask requirement noted above.

Lastly, other than facilities that have a mask requirement per Executive Order 14A (e.g. schools, child daycare centers, certain health care facilities, etc.), building owners and businesses can determine mask requirements for their particular location.

Continuing to wear a face mask is an individual decision, and people may choose to continue to wear a mask after the mask requirement is discontinued.
