Yesterday Connecticut broke another record for daily test positive rate for COVID – nearly 15%. And hundreds more have been hospitalized this week alone. This surge is very real and very concerning.

Tomorrow night is New Year’s eve – a night in which people often gather together. I encourage you to re-think those plans. Avoiding indoor congregate spaces is crucial during this spike in cases.

Because of the surge in cases demand for testing is very high right now. The surge in demand is stressing our testing systems – which is causing long wait times.

Wren labs is still offering saliva testing, but they have suspended their operations on the New Haven Green until January 4^th – saliva testing remains available at 60 Sargent Drive. They’re not currently taking appointments and wait times are extremely long. Please note that Wren will be close on December 31^st and January 1^st for the holiday and will reopen the Sargent drive site on January 2^nd.

The State of Connecticut has procured 3M in rapid tests however, unfortunately, the shipment has been delayed. When we know more information, we will follow-up with instructions on where to obtain at-home rapid testing.

Please also continue to mask up. There is overwhelming evidence that masks help prevent the spread of COVID. There continues to be a mask mandate in New Haven for public spaces.

Finally, get vaccinated and boosted to dramatically increase your protection against the Omicron variant. It is very easy to get vaccinated in New Haven. Check out the City’s Covid website at https://covid19.newhavenct.gov/ or call: 203-946-6999 for more information.

We are facing a very challenging situation but we will get through this together. Thanks everyone

The start of the New Year is a perfect time to evaluate your health goals and make some resolutions. Don't be tempted by crash diets. Instead, focus on other ways you can improve your health for the long-term: http://ynh.care/6182JNyTA.
