Statement From Public Health Commissioner Manisha Juthani, MD, Regarding Commissioner’s Order On Universal Masking Requirements

2/23/2022

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Feb. 23, 2022

HARTFORD, Conn. —Today I signed a Commissioner’s Order which amends a current order in place regarding the universal masking requirement for schools, health care facilities, childcare facilities, correction facilities and indoor transportation hubs.

 

We have come extremely far thanks to the people of Connecticut who have gotten vaccinated and boosted, have worn masks, and who have been tested when experiencing symptoms. And while we may have to get used to ramping up our mitigation strategies for any future variants and likely on a seasonal basis, this order reinforces the fact that Connecticut continues to trend in the right direction in terms of COVID-19 case and hospitalization rates.
