HARTFORD, Conn. — Many Connecticut businesses that closed during the coronavirus outbreak are preparing plans to reopen under the state's guidelines.

Gov. Lamont and state’s Reopen Task Force said the decline in hospitalizations and an increase in testing and contact tracing, puts Connecticut in a position to reopen while maintaining social distancing measures.

UPDATE as of Monday, May 18: Gov. Lamont said Monday that hair salons and barbershops were initially included in Phase 1 of Connecticut’s reopen plan, which begins May 20, however after having extensive discussions with owners and employees of these businesses he feels that it is in everyone’s best interests to provide for some additional preparation time and also align the state with its regional partners.
