Latest Wilton Coronavirus Update: 94 Active Cases
Here are the latest, local updates on how the coronavirus outbreak is impacting Wilton.
WILTON, CT — The Connecticut Department of Public Health has confirmed there are 94 cases of the new coronavirus in the Town as of Sunday, up from 92 reported Saturday.
"There have been a number of questions about the Wilton Food Pantry," First Selectwoman Lynne Vanderslice posted on the Town website. "Like every resident, it has become increasing difficult for Social Services Director Sarah Heath to find all the items we normally provide, but the Village Market is helping us with access. Understandably food donations are down, but we have funds raised through Wilton Rocks for Food and cash donations are up. If you would like to help, we are accepting donations of non-perishable food, household and personal care items along with grocery store gift cards. Please drop them off at the shed in the parking lot in front of Police Headquarters. We do not accept donations at the food pantry itself, in order to ensure the privacy of our clients. If you have questions, feel free to contact Sarah."
Statewide there were another 60 coronavirus-associated deaths and 525 positive cases reported on Sunday, with an increase in hospitalization by 61. To date there have been 12,035 confirmed coronavirus cases in Connecticut and 554 deaths. There are currently 1,654 people hospitalized for COVID-19.
