Why the switch? We’re starting to see population-level protection from vaccines, and that lessens the risk of disease transmission across the state, says state epidemiologist Dr. Rachel Herlihy.

The move also makes the state s stats look better but the outbreak totals were already falling under the old rules.
Until June 1, the CDPHE considered an entity an outbreak after two or more COVID-19 cases among residents, staffers or other people connected to a specific location were confirmed within a fourteen-day period, or two or more cases of respiratory illness with an onset of symptoms within a fourteen-day period were paired with at least one additional COVID-19 diagnosis.

Parents of Denver’s roughly 93,000 public school students have choices to make.
Kids in the city are automatically eligible to attend their local public school. Some live in “enrollment zones,” which means students choose one of a handful of schools in an area.
But not all students, and their parents, stop there. Thousands apply to enroll their children in a school despite not living in the boundaries of that school.
So which schools are the most sought after?
In the first quarter of the year, parents of about 22,000 students submitted ranked preferences for the school they wanted for their children. Of those, the majority 13,884, to be exact were submitting to enroll their student in one of three grades: kindergarten, sixth grade and ninth grade.
