On March 11, Gov. Ned Lamont declared a public health emergency and civil preparedness emergency in effect through September 9, unless terminated earlier.
Legislative leaders also announced the closure of the Capitol complex.
Additionally, meetings for Thursday, March 12, through Sunday, March 15, are canceled.
The closure allows the Capitol and Legislative Office Building to be cleaned due to concerns with the coronavirus.
The General Assembly will return to Hartford on Monday, March 16, to reschedule the canceled meetings.
They will also discuss legislation proposed by the governor for an emergency relief package, and to prevent price-gouging during times of emergencies.
The closure does not immediately affect lobbyist reporting.
