Congresswoman Jahana Hayes in quarantine after testing positive for COVID(WFSB) - Congresswoman Jahana Hayes remains in quarantine after she was notified that her COVID test yielded a positive result. Hayes made the announcement Sunday morning. Yesterday, Congresswoman Hayes said that she and her fellow staff members would quarantine after one of her staff members tested positive for the coronavirus. That positive test result came shortly after a phased reopening of her offices. Hayes said that she was in close contact with that staff member that tested positive and worked in both her Connecticut and Washington D.C. offices this past week. All members of her staff have have been informed and directed to quarantine and get tested for the virus. Hayes went to two urgent care centers Saturday, but was unable to get tested. She said that she was able to procure an appointment at a different urgent care center and was tested this morning. "I urge everyone to acknowledge the severity of this virus and follow the CDC guidance to keep our family, friends, and loved ones safe," stated Hayes. Members of Congress do not get tested regularly for the virus, according to a statement from Hayes' office. Face coverings, social distancing, and frequent floor cleanings are the precautionary measures the House has taken. "I have taken every possible precaution and still contracted the coronavirus," said Hayes. Hayes' Connecticut and Washington D.C. offices will be in a remote capacity until further notice. “My experience and the experience of my staff underscores the need for a national testing strategy with a coherent way to receive speedy, accurate results. This level of anxiety and uncertainty is untenable. I am asymptomatic, except for breathing issues which are being monitored. Please keep my family and my staff in your prayers," added Hayes.

Judge temporarily blocks US WeChat ban(CNN) -- A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's executive order <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/18/tech/tiktok-download-commerce/index.html" target="_blank">banning WeChat downloads</a> in the United States. In issuing the preliminary injunction, Judge Laurel Beeler wrote that the plaintiffs — a group of US-based WeChat users who stand to be affected by Trump's ban — had shown "serious questions" in their claim that the executive order threatens the users' First Amendment rights. "The plaintiffs' evidence reflects that WeChat is effectively the only means of communication for many in the community, not only because China bans other apps, but also because Chinese speakers with limited English proficiency have no options other than WeChat," Beeler wrote. Nor does the order escape First Amendment scrutiny under an easier standard known as intermediate scrutiny, the judge said, because the ban on WeChat does not provide enough evidence that it is narrowly tailored to resolve the US government's national security concerns with respect to the app. "And, as the plaintiffs point out," Beeler wrote, "there are obvious alternatives to a complete ban, such as barring WeChat from government devices, as Australia has done, or taking other steps to address data security." The injunction against the ban comes after President Trump said Saturday he has approved a deal involving TikTok, Oracle and Walmart. The Commerce Department had issued restrictions against both TikTok and WeChat that were set to go into effect Sunday evening, but delayed the implementation of the TikTok restrictions for one week. The WeChat ban, however, will now be stayed nationwide as a result of Judge Beeler's order. The judge's order not only blocks the Trump administration's attempted ban on downloads of WeChat, but also blocks the government's effort to restrict internet infrastructure companies from carrying or hosting WeChat's internet traffic. The Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

UConn residents at Eddy Hall to quarantine following COVID-19 casesSTORRS, CT (WFSB) - An uptick in cases at a UConn dorm has university officials on alert. This weekend, the school decided to place yet another dorm under medical quarantine. The school’s COVID dashboard is reporting 51 positive or suspected on-campus cases. Four of those cases are inside the Willard Eddy Residence Hall. Now, the entire dorm is under medical quarantine. A total of 96 students live inside the Eddy Residence Hall. They were notified on Saturday the dorm is being placed under a medical quarantine, because of, what university officials are calling, “cause for concern.” Four students tested positive over the last week. The UConn medical director says the positivity rate in the Eddy Residence Hall is disproportionate to cases the university is seeing in other dorms. UConn officials say twenty-eight students living in Eddy were already in quarantine or isolation. Around 4 p.m. on Saturday, UConn placed the residence hall under medical quarantine. Eyewitness News spoke with some students about how they feel about the circumstances. "I’m personally not scared, because I know I’m doing what I’m supposed to do and the college is taking its safety precaution to keep us all safe," one UConn student tells us. The university hopes this quarantine can help slow the spread. UConn recently lifted a medical quarantine at another dorm, called the Garrigus Suites. The off-campus Oaks on the Square apartment complex is also under quarantine, because of positive coronavirus tests. "I feel like there are going to be some positive cases like all over the way, but they’re like going to control it," UConn student Amirah Jahaf stated. The university has been testing hundreds of students for COVID each day as part of ongoing safety efforts. Since classes began, 147 residential students have tested positive for COVID. 138 of those who were treated have recovered and left isolation. We also learned Quinnipiac University in Hamden just had its first confirmed coronavirus case.

Weekend Hartford homicide victim identified as former Albertus Magnus hoops playerHARTFORD, CT (WFSB) - Police in Hartford have made an arrest in connection to a deadly weekend shooting. According to Hartford Police Lt. Paul Cicero, a gunshot victim arrived at St. Francis Hospital via private vehicle around 12:15 Saturday afternoon. The victim, later identified as 24-year-old Hartford resident Jaqhawn Walters, succumbed to his injuries about ten minutes after arriving. While officers were on their way to the hospital, a man, later identified as 33-year-old Hartford resident Jason Stone, called the Hartford Police Department and informed the dispatcher that he was involved in the shooting, which took place in the area of Stone's residence at 3395 Main Street. Stone was instructed by dispatchers to drive to the Hartford Police station, where he was taken into custody without incident. Lt. Cicero says that investigators were able to seize a firearm, which is believed to be the weapon used in the Main Street shooting, from Stone's vehicle. Surveillance footage obtained by Hartford Police were able to corroborate Stone's accounts. The footage also showed that a brief physical encounter occurred between the victim and the suspect prior to the shooting. Stone was charged with one count of murder and is being held on $1 million bond. On Saturday night, Albertus Magnus College officials said that Walters was a standout basketball forward for the school. He scored a total of 1,821 points and grabbed 1,167 rebounds during his playing career at the school. Officials said that Walters was also a D3Hoops.com All American, selected to the GNAC All Tournament Team, and named GNAC Player of the Year. “For those of us fortunate enough to know Jaqhawn, or “JQ” as he was affectionately known to so many, we remember his beaming smile and larger than life personality, bringing joy to everyone around him, whether it was on the basketball court, in the classroom, or in spaces across our campus," Albertus College President Marc Camille said in a statement. A prayer service for Jaqhawn is expected to be held later this week. Grief counselors will be made available to members of the Albertus Magnus community. Lt. Cicero adds that Stone is expected to be arraigned sometime on Monday. The Hartford Police Department's Major Crimes and Crime Scenes Division is investigating. Anyone with any information on this deadly shooting is asked to contact the Hartford Police Department's anonymous tip line at 860-722-8477.
