While the number of people who are contagious in the state remains high, this wave may have peaked, said Beth Carlton, an associate professor of environmental and occupational health at the Colorado School of Public Health.
Hospitalizations, the percentage of tests coming back positive and cases all dropped in the week ending Sunday. Colorado might have a relatively placid summer, with the recent wave of infections providing some protection for the next few months, Carlton said. Or, the lull could be brief, as the BA.4 and BA.5 variants become dominant. Much remains unknown about how well an infection with BA.2.12.
How much of a role vaccinations of children under 5 will have in reducing the number of susceptible people is unclear, Carlton said. The percentage of tests coming back positive also dropped, to about 11.2%. That’s down from about 12.7% two weeks ago, but still high enough to suggest large numbers of infections could be going undetected.
