Governor Ned Lamont announced December 30 that he is committing an additional $31.2 million, as well as continued support for COVID-19 recovery and alternate COVID recovery facilities, to support Connecticut’s nursing homes in their ongoing response to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Today’s announcement comes in addition to more than $150 million the state previously spent on nursing homes for COVID response. The additional aid is being delivered through increased payments that are retroactive to November and prospective through February.
