We are 108 days since our first confirmed casein Connecticut.
Hospitalizations are down to 124.
Cases are spiking in other states.
Connecticut is now asking travelers from some states to self quarantine for 14 days to help prevent a second wave here.
We have worked very hard with the Governor’s Office on presumptive Workers Compensation. (The presumption would be that if you worked in healthcare, and contracted Covid, that it was work related) You have shared your stories and it has made a difference. Although we have not achieved our goal of an executive order on presumption, we have made improvements. One of them was in having hospitals cover Covid related healthcare expenses without copays or deductibles. It has not been easy, but I am happy to let you know that your efforts have finally gotten us to have the Governor’s Office pressure ALL of our hospitals to waive these fees. As of now, any treatment of our members for Covid at our hospitals will be with zero copays or deductibles.
It is important that you let me know if this is not the case in practice.
Top U.S. health officials told lawmakers Tuesday that they haven’t discussed the Covid-19 pandemic with President Donald Trump for more than two weeks, a period in which cases have surged in some of the most populous states.
