The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reported 20 new COVID-19 outbreaks this week, the lowest number of weekly outbreaks since the first week of July.
The decrease in outbreaks — which are defined as two or more cases at a facility or event within a two- week period — comes as COVID-19 cases in Colorado have been on the decline for three straight weeks.
The numbers of both reported cases and of outbreaks still remain above the state’s COVID-19 low point in mid-June.

While outbreaks occur in all different kinds of facilities, since June reports have been concentrated in elder care facilities and restaurants.
Five restaurants, five elder care facilities, two stores, a dental office, an office, a veterinary clinic, a cheerleading gym, a construction site, a church, a childcare center, and a countertop company are where the outbreaks were reported this week.
