With a large climb in the COVID-19 case numbers in Ridgefield, First Selectman Rudy Marconi is asking all residents regardless of vaccination status, to voluntarily mask up, practice social distancing, and step-up precautions to fight the virus.  Marconi added that everyone who is eligible and able should get vaccinated.  Contact tracing has shown that essentially all new cases in Ridgefield are in the unvaccinated population.  Ridgefield's rate of new cases is almost double what it was this time last year, according to data from the state Department of Public Health.
