Going home for the holidays has never been so complicated with college students being asked to get tested and quarantine.
During Gov. Ned Lamont's news briefing Monday, state officials asked students to get tested, quarantine for two weeks, skip social gatherings and avoid elderly relatives and people with health risks.
Some universities are also requiring students get tested.
Doctors say the precautions are a good idea regardless of whether students are crossing state lines.
