If one member of your family tests positive for COVID-19 and other family members show symptoms, the assumption will be that he/she also has COVID-19:
In her latest COVID-19 update Wilton First Selectwoman Lynne Vanderslice said the Town had been notified that due to the shortage of kits and PPE, if one member of the family tests positive and one or more family members subsequently begin showing symptoms, the assumption will be that the additional family member(s) is/are positive and testing will not be performed unless necessary for treatment. She also reminded residents that if you have received a confirmed or presumptive positive test and you have not been contacted by the Wilton Health Department, please contact the department.

Help for small businesses
The DECD announced they have suspended accepting applications for the Connecticut Recovery Bridge Loan Program. They received over 4,000 applications and have doubled the funding to $50 million. They are taking a pause to catch-up and assess. They are encouraging any business that did not file prior to the deadline to consider the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan Assistance Program.
Road paving began this week. The schedule is available on the DPW page of the town’s website and is generally updated on Mondays.
Transfer Station
The Transfer Station has been experiencing a high number of first-time users. Please remember you must have a permit, which can be obtained at Town Hall by using the drop box system. Reduced Town Hall hours are Monday-Friday from 8:30am to 11:30am. We are only accepting household waste and recycling at this time. Please enter the Transfer Station to the left of the small structure and don’t be concerned about driving over the scale. Trucks do it all the time.
