We are excited to share "new" features:
Test Positivity Rates:
Track test positivity rates, or the percentage of tests administered that come back positive, as CT aims to have a positivity rate as low as possible per WHO recommendations.
Mobility Charts:
As the state eases restrictions of travel and movement, CT residents increase their average daily mobility.
