The CDC has now listed six of Connecticuts eight counties as being in the high level for COVID-19, according to the state Department of Public Health.

Hartford, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, Tolland and Windham counties are in the high category. Only Fairfield and New London counties are listed in the medium category.Get more information here.

A lot of individuals are doing home tests and you know that data isn't reported, said Dr. David Banach, UConn Health hospital epidemiologist.

Banach said its hard to know exactly whats behind the rise, though factors might include really easy-to-spread Omicron subvariants, folks moving away from masking and immunity from vaccination and prior infection waning over time.

I think when we look at the data that's presented in terms of number of positive tests, a number of hospitalized individuals who test positive, coupled with the wastewater testing, I think the trend is showing that there is a relatively high level of virus circulating in the community, seems to be increasing over the recent weeks, Banach previously said.
