Bethel official wants of 'long COVID' symptoms

Bethel's COVID-19 case rate continues to decline.  For the second second consecutive week, the rate of new cases per 100,000 population, fell from an all time high of about 217 cases to 105 this week.  Test positivity fell to 20-percent.  But First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker continued to urge residents to keep following all of the usual safety precautions.  He notes that while Omicron is dominant in Connecticut, and has been described by some as being “milder” than the Alpha or Delta variants, Omicron is still a potent disease that can result in so-called “long COVID” symptoms lasting for months, such as extreme fatigue and “brain fog.”  Currently in Bethel, 81% of residents have initiated the vaccine process and 72% are now fully vaccinated, 35% have received the booster.
