Colorado’s COVID-19 cases have been rising slowly for four weeks, but the level of disease is still relatively low and it’s not clear how significant a wave the virus might be building up.
Hospitalizations were slightly higher this week — with 88 people receiving care for the virus across the state as of Tuesday afternoon — than they were a week earlier, when officials reported 77 patients. The state is only publicly updating hospitalization numbers once a week, though, making it impossible to tell if that number is a one-day blip or part of a trend.
The percentage of tests coming back positive in Colorado also has risen, reaching an average of 4.98% over the last seven days. State officials tend to start getting concerned when that positivity rate rises above 5%. The number of active COVID-19 outbreaks dropped again, from 398 to 369. Most of that decrease came from a reduction in the number of K-12 schools reporting outbreaks.
