Lamont's Executive Order Permits Salons/Barbershops to Open, Amends Prohibitions on Large Gatherings

Governor Lamont signs 47th executive order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19

Governor Lamont today signed another executive order – the 47th since he enacted the emergency declarations – that builds upon his efforts to encourage mitigation strategies that slow down transmission of the virus. Executive Order No. 7TT enacts the following provisions:

  • Reopening of barbershops and hair salons: Permits barbershops and hair salons to resume operations, provided that they follow sector rules that have been issued by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development.
  • Amended prohibitions on large gatherings: Relaxes the previously enacted limits on large gatherings. Effective:
  • Limits on all social and recreational gatherings are raised to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors, subject to safety restrictions and existing orders and business sector rules.
  • Limits on all religious, spiritual, and worship gatherings are raised to 25 percent of the capacity of the indoor space or a maximum of 100 people, whichever is smaller, and to 150 people for outdoor gatherings, provided in each case that appropriate safety and social distancing measures are employed.
