Gov. Ned Lamont is considering giving local mayors and first selectmen “wide” discretion to impose COVID-19 rules in their cities and towns, including mask mandates in supermarkets, restaurants, and other private businesses.
That would represent a sweeping change in pandemic decision making in Connecticut, as cities and towns are now limited in what orders they can make. They must generally follow state guidance, and Lamont has avoided carving up the state with different rules throughout the pandemic.
