MONTVILLE, Conn. — Gov. Ned Lamont says he does not plan to mandate booster shots for certain workers or reissue a statewide indoor mask mandates in stores and restaurants.
His comments on Tuesday come despite new statewide COVID-19 infection numbers that are the highest in nearly a year and news of the omicron variant being identified in different parts of the world.
The Democrat, however, said he does expect that masking requirements in schools will remain in place for now.
Lamont says he doesn’t see a need yet to require certain workers to get a booster shot, noting Connecticut ranks among the top 10 states for people getting one.
