New Canaan’s highest elected official said Tuesday that the town continues to see four or five new positive cases of COVID-19 virus per week.
The new cases are of two kinds, according to First Selectman Kevin Moynihan: unvaccinated people or people who have received vaccine but have traveled “predominantly to areas of higher risk.”
None of the New Canaan positive cases are being reported yet as “very sick or hospitalized in the area,” Moynihan said during a regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen, held at Town Hall.
“And [Gov. Ned Lamont] indicated yesterday this Delta variant is a concern,” Moynihan said.

The Springfield district recently posted a plan for what school will look like this fall, and it resembles life prior to the ongoing pandemic but, with extra precautions.
For example, masking is expected to be optional, not required, except on school buses.
Free COVID-19 testing will be available to symptomatic students and employees, either at school sites or a central location.
Schools will host vaccine events for eligible students and provide details about clinics to families.
Physical distancing, handwashing, and regular cleaning of facilities will be emphasized by staff and reinforced with signage.
Stephen Hall, chief communications officer, said all districts including Springfield were required to develop and post a Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Service Plan by late June.
