Trumbull has 625 residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 and a total of 125 of our residents have passed away. 373 of those who tested positive have recovered or are recovering. 104 of the people who died were residents of our long term care facilities. Please keep all of these families in your thoughts and prayers.
The rate of new positive COVID-19 cases in Trumbull continues to remain steady. We've had 2 new positive cases in the last 7 days.
In accordance with the Governor's executive orders all residents are required to wear a mask or a cloth face covering when in public and a six-foot distance is unavoidable whether indoors or outdoors. This does not apply to anyone for whom doing so would be contrary to their health because of a medical condition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPx1yqvJgf4
