NAUGATUCK, CT — Coronavirus cases are once again on the rise in Connecticut, with 25 towns in the state's red alert zone for infection rates. Even Gov. Ned Lamont last week said that he had tested positive for the virus. Naugatuck had 8.5 average daily cases per 100,000 residents and a positive test rate of 3.40 percent between March 20 and April 4, according to the state Department of Public Health. There were 10.3 average daily cases per 100,000 residents in the previous two-week reporting period. It's important to note that a few cases can have a large impact on a municipal case rate, especially for small towns. As a result of the slight drop in cases, Naugatuck is in the alert level yellow zone: Naugatuck recorded 16 new coronavirus cases between April 1 and 7, down from 21 cases the week before, according to DPH's preliminary data.
