An expert says trends still suggest a large COVID wave isn’t likely at this point in Colorado, but that could change as the BA.2.12.1 variant replaces BA.2.
Right now, Colorado’s increasing COVID-19 cases are manageable, but it’s not clear what the state should expect as yet another more-contagious variant of the virus is poised to take over.
New COVID-19 cases are relatively low, but increasing steadily, with 5,509 reported in the week ending Sunday. That’s roughly 21% more than in the previous week, and comparable to late July 2021. The percentage of tests coming back positive has trended up, with an average of 6.09% positive in the last week. Outbreaks also rose marginally last week, with the number considered active in schools dropping as more clusters cropped up in long-term care facilities., based on newer criteria that emphasize hospital capacity. Under the old criteria, which emphasized cases, 21 of the state’s 64 counties would have been considered to have “substantial” or “high” transmission.
