Gray Is Good When It Comes To Covid-19 Cases In The Tri-Towns

ESSEX, CHESTER, DEEP RIVER, CT — Essex, Chester and Deep River may be small towns, but they are mighty when comes to banning together for the greater good of their communities. Currently, 54 of the 169 towns in the state of Connecticut remain in the red zone (when average daily Covid-29 cases exceed 15 per 100,000 population over a two week average) but not the tri-towns. Essex, Chester and Deep River are all "in the gray" which means that the average daily positive cases of Covid-19 are less than five per 100,000 population over the past two weeks.

Other towns throughout the state that are also "in the gray" include: Andover, Bozrah, Bridgewater, Canaan, Chaplin, Colebrook, Cornwall, East Granby, Franklin, Hampton, Kent, Lisbon, Lyme, Middlefield, Norfolk, Pomfret, Roxbury, Salisbury, Scotland, Sharon, Union, Warren, Washington, Weston, Westport and Willington.
