Connecticut’s daily COVID-19 test positivity continues to rise, standing at 8.8 percent as of Wednesday, April 27. Out of 59,551 tests given out this past week, 5,242 came back positive.
East Hartford continues to be in the “orange” at just a shade under the 15 cases/daily per 100,000 red threshold. The number of hospitalizations statewide rose by 45 for the week, to 210 with COVID-19 symptoms. Of those, 69.52 percent, or 146, are fully vaccinated.
To check or get your immunization record you can go through the secure CT WiZ Public Portal, a free service. Patients and legal guardians can access official immunization records for themselves and their minor children using the CT WiZ Public Portal.
GO TO CT WiZ PUBLIC PORTAL at https://ctwiz.dph.ct.gov/ctwiz_public/Application/PublicPortal
The CT WiZ Public Portal allows individuals who were vaccinated in Connecticut to access their own immunization records, while parents and guardians can also access their child’s records. You have the option of getting a PDF copy of your full immunization record, or your COVID-19 vaccine record that contains your SMART Health card, which is a digital copy of your COVID-19 vaccine record that can be stored on your phone as a QR code. (Note: CT DPH does not issue replacement ‘CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Cards’ to the public.) Complete the online form if your (or your minor child’s) immunization record is missing immunizations or was not found in the CT WiZ Public Portal.
If you need assistance by phone, you may call our main line at (860) 509-7929 Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm during business hours. Questions? https://portal.ct.gov/DPH/Immunizations/CT-WiZ-Access-My-Immunization-Record
Results are taken from medical testing facilities and do not include home test kits which many now perform themselves given the wide availability of test kits now being sold in grocery stores and retail drugstore checkout lines.
Data on COVID-19 associated deaths in Connecticut is updated once per week every Thursday. The most recently reported total number of deaths is 10,809.
