Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont’s administration announced it would require all nursing home visitors to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or show a recent negative test before entering.
“We know that some of the people who are most vulnerable to the impacts of COVID-19 include those who live in nursing homes, which is why we need to be doing everything we can to protect them from this virus,” the Democrat governor said in a statement, announcing he signed an executive order (pdf) that applies to all nursing facilities in the state. “This is one more precaution we can implement at these facilities to keep them safe.”
