Over the past couple of days, West Conn has seen an incremental increase in the number of positive COVID-19 cases in Litchfield Hall. As a precautionary measure, all students living in that dorm will be tested starting today. Tests will be administered to all Litchfield Hall residents again on Monday. 

The state Department of Public Health recommended Litchfield students remain in the dorm for up to 14 days, unless the situation allows otherwise.  Food service will be provided to those students in their building and classes will continue virtually. All students in isolation or quarantine will be instructed to contact their professors for instructions on how to attend their classes virtually. 

West Conn President Dr John Clark says they are taking these steps out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of Litchfield Hall residents and the campus in general.
