Town Hall Restrictions
Due to the rapid increase in positive COVID-19 cases Redding Town Hall will be open to visitors by appointment only. Town departments many times are able to service most needs through email, telephone, and sending scanned documents, so a visit may not be necessary. Visit the town website https://townofreddingct.org for contact information for each department.
Masks are required for all visitors to all Town buildings.
Self-Testing
Self-testing or over the counter tests are one of many risk reduction measures that can provide beneficial information. People should consider testing before indoor gatherings with others not from their household. The tests are easy to use and produce quick results.
A positive self-test result means the test detected a virus, and you are likely to have an infection and should stay home or isolate for 10 days, inform any close contacts, and wear a mask if you have contact with others, and avoid indoor gatherings.
A negative test result means that the test did not detect the virus and you may not have an infection, but it does not rule out infection. Repeating the test within a few days, with at lest 24-hours between tests, will increase confidence that you are not infected.
Self-test results do not need to be reported to the local health department; however, it cannot be stressed enough that individuals must follow through with informing close contacts of positive findings.
