Connecticut is a week away from lifting most COVID-19 restrictions and the governor will be holding a news conference at 5:30 p.m. to discuss his plans.
Gov. Ned Lamont lifted all outdoor restrictions on May 1, including for bars that had been closed since the early days of the pandemic. All remaining restrictions will be lifted on May 19, other than masks, which will continue to be required in all indoor public settings where social distancing is not possible.
The restrictions being lifted on May 19 include size limits and social distancing rules for businesses, such as large event venues, bars and nightclubs.
