In his latest COVID-19 update, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont announced there were 101,971 COVID-19 tests administered over the weekend, resulting in 3,931 newly confirmed infections, bringing the total to 253,954 statewide since the pandemic began.

The 3.86 percent infection rate among those tested is slightly higher than last week, though a far cry from the "post-holiday spike" in cases that saw that number hovering near 10 percent last month.
