El Paso County COVID-19 data trends showing promise
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- New data from the El Paso County Health Department shows promising signs in the fight against COVID-19.
Most notably, hospitalizations are trending down from record highs in November. The seven-day average daily admissions is currently 6 per day, which is less than half the average at the beginning of January and a fraction of numbers in November.
"I can't emphasize this enough. As the amount of virus in our community goes down, it's a relief. But we don't want people to start reducing their precautions. Now is the time where we can really push the virus down," Stephen Goodwin said, El Paso County Public Health Chief Data Scientific Strategist.
