The number of infections in the DOC, as of April 20, would also be among Connecticut’s highest, at 15th overall. This puts the DOC (293 cases as of April 20, population 11,340) near places with much bigger populations, like Fairfield (14th overall at 300 cases as of April 20).

The day before Lamont made that statement, on April 7, 44 incarcerated people in the DOC had tested positive, only eight days after the DOC’s first reported case. By April 14, that number was 166. Three days later, it was 246. By April 20, it was 293.

Cases among DOC workers are also rising. From April 3 to April 17, the number of DOC workers who had tested positive increased from 19 to 165.
