The city of Durango’s Utilities Department has reported an outbreak of COVID-19 after three staff members tested positive, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
CDPHE updates its weekly outbreak list every Wednesday. An outbreak is defined as two or more cases in a 14-day period. The Utilities Department outbreak was confirmed March 30.
The total new COVID-19 outbreaks announced by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is less than half the size of last week s list. But this upbeat development is tempered by the number of outbreaks involving children and younger teens, a demographic for which no vaccine is available at this time. The entries also include the state s first bus outbreak in this case, an outbreak on a school bus.
