Greater Danbury area drops to lowest level of COVID community spread zone

The Greater Danbury area is in the state's grey zone for having fewer than 5 COVID-19 cases per 100-thousand population. There are 21 municipalities, mostly in the central and Eastern parts of the state, still in the yellow.  Only one town is in the orange zone, Waterbury, and no towns are in the red. 

Monroe had only 1 new COVID-19 case in the past week, and the 2-week rolling case rate is now less than 5 cases per 100,000 population.  Monroe is holding vaccination clinics on June 9th and 16th. Adult walk-ins will be taken from 9am to noon. Due to the significant drop in demand, and continued availability elsewhere, Monroe will be suspending weekly vaccination clinics after the 16th.

Connecticut is making progress in getting residents at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.  93-percent of Connecticut residents over the age of 65 have received at least 1 dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.  83-percent of 55 to 64 year olds and 72 percent of 45 to 54 year olds are partially vaccinated.  It then drops to 67-percent for 35 to 44 year olds. 

Younger Connecticut residents, 16 and 17 year olds, have a better partial vaccination rate than some of their older counterparts at 59-percent.  Those 25 to 34 year olds are at 57-percent while 53-percent of 18 to 24 year olds are partially vaccinated. 

The youngest eligible group, 12 to 15 year olds, are at 35-percent partially vaccinated.
