Connecticut moved better to a full shutdown of public events on Thursday in an attempt to slow the unavoidable spread of the coronavirus that might infect as many as 700,000 residents over the next month and, according to the state epidemiologist, as much as 70 percent of the population if it appears again in the autumn.

Those numbers of individuals ill with COVID-19 are not a prediction, however they could take place if the disease follows the very same arc as the seasonal flu, Dr. Matthew Cartter, the seasoned state epidemiologist, stated at a news rundown at the state’s emergency situation operations.

Procedures the state is taking are developed to prevent those deaths.
