Four additional positive test results for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) involving Windsor Locks residents were reported today by our Health Director. Two reside in the general population and two are residents of the town’s long-term care facility.

One person who is among the four new cases reported has died as a consequence of the disease. These reports are based on data collected by the Connecticut Department of Public Health. These additional cases bring the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases involving Windsor Locks residents to eighty-one and the total number of those cases resulting in a death to twelve.

Windsor Locks citizens are asked to do all they can to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. According to the health department, we have entered a period of widespread community transmission, which means that we should not assume that the reported cases are the only infected people within our community.

Residents should follow the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Connecticut Department of Public Health.

Responsible citizenship requires that we take all needed steps to limit the spread of COVID-19.
