Attorney General Tong Statement Regarding Trump Quarantine Comment
(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong issued the following statement regarding President Donald Trump’s comments regarding a regional quarantine:
“I could not agree more with Governor Lamont—confusion leads to panic and puts people at risk. Our leaders cannot think out loud at moments like this. They must speak with clarity and authority. Off the cuff comments by the President, made without necessary coordination with Governors on the front lines of this crisis—are not helpful. As we have been since day one of this crisis, the Office of the Attorney General is in close coordination with the Governor’s office to support our state efforts to protect public health and safety here in Connecticut.”
