COVID-19 cases in Redding are now increasing at a rate that First Selectman Julia Pemberton says is of great concern.  Through September 1st, Redding's total cases numbered 80. In the month of November alone the town had 67 new cases.  In two months, Redding has had more cases than the prior 8 months combined. Statewide and locally, testing over the holiday was significantly reduced and Pemberton says new reported cases are likely suppressed. In the coming week, as testing increases again, she anticipates continued jumps in cases.
