OLD LYME — 4/10 UPDATE: 9:10am We received an update from Ledge Light Health District (LLHD) last night with details of confirmed COVID-19 cases across southeast Connecticut, which stated that Old Lyme now has seven confirmed cases while Lyme held steady at one. LLHD has just informed us that the seventh case is a male, but his age is unavailable. Yesterday Old Lyme First Selectman Griswold reported there were six cases to us.
4/9: Old Lyme First Selectman Tim Griswold informed us today that his office was notified on April 6 of two new cases of COVID-19 in the town:- a 61-year-old female and a 29-year-old female. These were in addition to the four previously announced of a 64-year-old female, a 21-year-old female a 27-year-old male and a 53-year-old female.
The two new cases are mentioned in Griswold’s update to town residents, which was sent out today.
Last Saturday, Griswold stressed to us in a text message that the 21-year-old female was tested in Florida, but used an Old Lyme address although she does not live here. Because she gave the Old Lyme address, Griswold said that Ledge Light Health District must report her as an Old Lyme resident.
Griswold commented to LymeLine.com during today’s discussion regarding Old Lyme’s confirmed COVID-19 cases that it’s “interesting half our six people are under 30,” and he also noted five out of the six cases are females.
