- Connecticut's Department of Public Health has settled a federal lawsuit with its former commissioner, Renee Coleman-Mitchell, who was fired during the pandemic.

- Coleman-Mitchell's departure from state government will now be listed as "resigned in good standing" instead of "unclassified appointment discontinued".
- Governor Lamont replaced Coleman-Mitchell for several reasons, including her slow response in protecting nursing homes from the virus and her refusal to release school-by-school vaccination rates. However, the state did not disclose the reasons publicly at the time.
