Colleges students in Connecticut might not be able to return to their campuses without adequate testing, according to the latest recommendations given to Gov. Ned Lamont by the state’s reopening task force.

Gov. Lamont said Wednesday during a press briefing that he wanted a phased reopening for Connecticut’s higher education institutions, starting with research facilities as early as May 20 and eventually having residential colleges and boarding schools repopulated at the beginning of the fall semester.
