"So, what can we learn from these statistics? Well, the biggest takeaway by far is that social distancing is working in Naugatuck. Our statistics rise as expected, but the rate of increase is less than projected. So, what we're going to do because of limitations on the time of this call is we're going to invite your questions by email. Please email your COVID-19 questions to me at:
