After a month with no new cases, Redding had 10 new COVID-19 cases reported between July 23rd and 30th. Fairfield County is now considered an area with "substantial" COVID infections according to the CDC, which recommends that everyone wear a mask in public indoor settings. Redding employees and the general public are required to wear a mask in Redding municipal buildings. First Selectwoman Julia Pemberton says the greatest protection against coronavirus is the vaccine.
