Gov. Ned Lamont will restrict gatherings of more than 50 people and order the closure of Connecticut restaurants, bars, gyms and movie theaters in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, he announced Monday in coordination with governors from New York and New Jersey. The mandate will begin at 8 p.m. tonight and remain in effect “until further notice,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. Restaurants and bars will be allowed to continue food delivery and takeout. Supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations and other essential businesses will remain open. Connecticut currently has 26 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. However, officials say that number is greatly deflated by a lack of testing and that the true figure is likely much higher.
