Continued Distribution of Masks, Infrared Thermometers to Eligible, Essential Small Businesses, Nonprofits and Places of Worship
 
The State of Connecticut has partnered with CBIA-CONNSTEP to assist in the distribution of donated surgical masks and thermometers to eligible essential small businesses, non-profits and places of worship with 50 employees or less.  This program will be running weekly for the month of June.   
 
Small businesses, nonprofits, and places of worship that would like to request equipment from the state’s supply of PPE and infrared thermometers should fill out the online form on a weekly basis by early afternoon on Thursdays.  The state has partnered with the Connecticut Business and Industry Association and its affiliate CONNSTEP to distribute the thermometers weekly. They will be delivered to the municipalities in which the organizations are located, and then the municipalities will contact the recipient entities to inform them of a time and location they can pick up their requested equipment.  Local distribution will also occur weekly for the month of June.
