There are nearly four times as many COVID cases among students this year than the same time last year, a review of state data shows, and though the state is logging a decrease in cases overall, hospitalizations are about on par with last year.
There are, according to state data, 2,773 students with COVID in Connecticut schools, and 800 staff as of Sept. 22.
Last year, on Sept. 22 2021, there were 728 students with COVID, and 127 staff. That’s a 281 percent increase in student cases year-over-year, and a 530 percent increase in cases among staff.
