Masks

Nassau County lawmakers have introduced a bill that would make wearing a face mask in public illegal. If passed, wearing a mask that conceals the wearer's identity would result in a misdemeanor charge and fine. Masks worn for health or religious reasons would be exempt.

But the Democratic governor made it clear he thinks it's fine that some districts, including Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury, are keeping the mandate in place for now.

Lamont said the at-home rapid tests will help fight a surge of infections brought on by the Omicron variant.
