CONNECTICUT

Connecticut officials have released details of new rules announced recently by Gov. Ned Lamont that restrict team and club sports activities because of the coronavirus outbreak. The state also is now requiring masks to be worn in gyms, fitness centers and dance and yoga studios.

The rules disclosed Friday put a “pause” on youth and adult team sports, excluding collegiate and professional teams, beginning Monday and running through Jan. 19. The governing body of statewide high school sports already has postponed all winter sports to Jan. 19.

Participation is banned in “high-risk” sports, which include 11-on-11 football, wrestling, martial arts, rugby, boys lacrosse, boxing, competitive cheer and competitive dance. Also prohibited are team scrimmages, camps, clinics and tournaments, including those that are out of state.

The new rules also reduce the capacity limits from 50% to 25% for group fitness, dance, yoga and martial arts studios, and they require minimum 6-foot spacing at those places and at gyms.

Connecticut’s seven-day rolling average of daily new cases has risen over the past two weeks from 988 a day on Nov. 6 to 1,832 a day on Nov. 20.

The state’s seven-day rolling average of the positivity rate has risen over the past two weeks from 3.44% on Nov. 6 to 5.77% on Nov. 20.

The state has exceeded 10,000 confirmed coronavirus cases, according to data released Saturday by the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

The agency said the state has registered nearly 170 additional cases since Friday, for a total of more than 10,100 cases during the pandemic. More than 2,200 of those cases remain active. The state has registered 174 deaths from the virus.

Maine’s seven-day average of daily new cases has risen over the past two weeks from about 125 on Nov. 6 to about 188 on Nov. 20, according to Johns Hopkins University.

MASSACHUSETTS

State health officials added New Hampshire and Maine on Saturday to its list of states where travelers must quarantine or provide a negative coronavirus test if entering or returning to Massachusetts.

The two join 46 other states to be designated high risk by the state’s Department of Health. The agency says states are included on the list if they average more than 10 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents.

Hawaii and Vermont are the only states still considered low risk that are exempt from the travel rules, which authorities have said can result in a $500-a-day fine for noncompliance.

Massachusetts’ seven-day rolling average of daily new cases has risen over the past two weeks from about 1,447 on Nov. 6 to 2,550 on Nov. 20, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The state’s seven-day rolling average of the positivity rate has also risen over the past two weeks from 1.88% on Nov. 6 to 3.18% on Nov. 20.

VERMONT

The state is increasing its contract tracing staff and testing capacity as it continues to see a surge in coronavirus cases.

Officials said this week that the state’s contact tracing staff of about 40 will add about 20 more from the state National Guard and 10 more from the state Department of Public Safety over the next two weeks.

Republican Gov. Phil Scott said testing locations will also ramp up to seven days a week and most residents will soon be about a 30 minute drive from a site.

The state hopes to have the capacity to test 30,000 Vermonters a week, added Human Services Secretary Mike Smith.

Vermont’s seven-day rolling average of daily new cases has risen over the past two weeks from about 24 on Nov. 6 to 102 on Nov. 20, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The state’s seven-day rolling average of the positivity rate has also risen over the past two weeks from 0.66% on Nov. 6 to 1.97% on Nov. 20.

RHODE ISLAND

Rhode Islanders who lost their jobs or had their wages significantly reduced during the pandemic will be able to qualify for $1.83 million in federal rental assistance designated to the state, U.S. Sen. Jack Reed announced Friday.

Reed said the aid comes via the federal Housing Choice Voucher program, which helps low-income low-income seniors, families and people with disabilities find safe and stable rental housing.

Program participants pay 30% of their income toward rent, and the voucher helps make up the difference, Reed said. The aid comes on top of a $2.5 million Housing Choice Voucher program allocation the state received in August as part of the federal coronavirus aid package.

Rhode Island’s seven-day rolling average of daily new cases has risen over the past two weeks from 500 on Nov. 6 to about 925 on Nov. 20, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The state’s seven-day rolling average of the positivity rate has also risen over the past two weeks from 3.75% on Nov. 6 to 6.43% on Nov. 20.

There have been more than 500 deaths and about 16,800 cases of the virus in the state since the pandemic started.
