We are 75 days since our first confirmed case of Covid-19 in Connecticut. We are 2 days into our re-opening.
Hospitalizations are down 71 today to 816
53 more people died (3582)
Nurses, technical professionals, home health aides and healthcare support staff have for two months fought to protect your community during the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic. Members of four affiliated unions at L+M Hospital and the Visiting Nurses of Southeastern Connecticut have bravely stood up for us; now they need us to stand with them.

As these brave caregivers have risked their own lives, they've consistently echoed our collective demand for the federal government to do more to provide critical personal protective equipment(PPE). This event is an important escalation in that effort and that's why they need you to join them — and help spread the word in the community.
More to come, and In solidarity,
