Connecticut municipalities continue to make decisions regarding the local beaches and swimming areas they oversee. DEEP will publish a detailed operations plan early this week that municipalities may adapt to their needs.  For local beaches, DEEP recommends spacing of 15 feet or more between beach blankets.  Other recommendations will be similar to those in effect at start parks, including groups of 5 of fewer, wearing face coverings and capacity limits with daily closures when social distancing cannot be maintained.  Currently, the Connecticut Department of Public Health and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise that there is no current evidence of COVID-19 transmission through recreational freshwater or saltwater swimming.
