Bethel's Emergency Management Director says the town has distributed masks to over 80 Bethel businesses to date.  The state has received shipments of more PPE and is still offering 2 masks per employee to essential small businesses with 50 or fewer employees.  A link to the application can be found on the state's COVID response website.  With the gradual phased reopening of the state's economy and the arrival of warm weather, First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker says there's no doubt some may be tempted to let down their guard.  But he says  public health officials are still concerned that relaxing too soon and too fast will cause a spike in illnesses that could easily set back the plans to reopen the economy.  Residents are urged to continue to wear masks when out in public, keep 6 feet from others not in your household and to wash hands often.
