With the coronavirus spreading nationally and 19 other states pulling back or pausing on their reopening plans, Gov. Ned Lamont said Wednesday that he is considering a pause in the third phase of Connecticut’s reopening as the state continues battling the virus. Connecticut was planning to open bars, indoor event spaces and allow large outdoor events of up to 100 people later this month under phase 3 of the state’s reopening strategy. That plan may now be delayed as Lamont and health officials watch the virus spread and death count grow. In Connecticut, Lamont has doubled his travel advisory, saying that travelers from 16 states should self-quarantine for two weeks after arriving in Connecticut if they have not tested negative for the virus within 72 hours of arrival. The new states on the list are California, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada and Tennessee after the initial “hot spot” states of Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, North Carolina, and Utah.
