Griswold has previously noted that the 21-year-old female with a confirmed case was tested in Florida, but used an Old Lyme address although she does not live here. Because she gave the Old Lyme address, Griswold said that Ledge Light Health District must report her as an Old Lyme resident.
Lyme’s first and only confirmed case is a 34-year-old male.
This is the most in depth information I’ve seen for any town, thank you.
What I’d like to know is what is the status of each of the individuals above? Which / how many of them have since tested negative?
Tracking the history of COVID infections is helpful. What is far more relevant is knowing how many active cases are currently in our community as well as in the state.
It would be much appreciated to read how many of the 21 cases have successfully recovered since contracting the virus. Where can this information be found?
