Brookfield now has 58 confirmed cases of COVID-19. They range in age from 1 to 81. First Selectman Steve Dunn says things are changing rapidly and seeing an increase of intra-household transmission but no evidence of community transmission at this time. Everyone who tests positive with COVID-19 must self-isolate from family and friends in a separate room and using a separate bathroom, if available. Dunn says the new data suggests positive patients are not self-isolating within their home. He added that coronavirus is widespread enough to consider everyone a suspected carrier. The Brookfield Health Department will no longer be listed the age range for local cases in the daily update because the virus is affecting all age groups.
