A message from Governor Ned Lamont
As the COVID-19 virus puts a surge upon our hospital capacity and supplies, ordinary people are stepping up and doing extraordinary things.
People with sewing machines across the state are now making top-quality surgical masks. A whiskey distiller is making hand sanitizer. A parachute manufacturer is making surgical gowns. And over a thousand nurses have come out of retirement to get back helping in our hospitals.
And we're asking for your help. Students and other retired health care workers are needed at medical facilities across Connecticut.
We need you now more than ever. This is a community effort, and I am incredibly appreciative of everyone who is doing their part to protect their neighbors. Together, we can overcome this challenge.
