Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases in parts of the country, the third phase of reopenings in Connecticut has been postponed, but businesses that reopened during the first and second phases, along with essential services which have remained open during the coronavirus crisis, have been unaffected at this time.

Some businesses and establishments have voluntarily closed or reduced hours of operation due to coronavirus. Stores have made adjustments to follow the State of Connecticut's the Safe Store Rules, including limiting the number of customers allowed at a time, and requiring shoppers to take specific protective measures, such as wearing masks or face coverings. Contact individual locations before you travel for specific rules and restrictions.

Before being allowed to reopen, businesses must self-certify that they will follow current safety guidelines. Here is a searchable list of businesses that have self-certified. If you are a business owner, Self-Certify online here.
