Outbreaks of COVID-19 are back on the rise in Larimer County.
For the first time in nearly two months, new outbreaks were reported to the state. Four newly reported outbreaks push the county s total to seven active outbreaks, with a least one case confirmed to be the highly transmissible Delta variant, the main strain circulating in Colorado.
In most instances, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment considers an outbreak to be five or more cases within a 14-day window, but two or more cases in health care settings also constitute an outbreak.
Given the link between cases, it s safe to say the Delta variant accounts for a significant portion of these cases, said Katie O Donnell, spokesperson for the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment.

United Ways of Hampshire, Franklin counties become one >Related stories
The United Ways of Hampshire and Franklin counties have worked together for decades, but last week, the organizations announced they had formally merged into one entity, now known as the United Way of the Franklin and Hampshire Region.
The merger is the culmination of an 18-month process to create a larger, more consistently staffed organization that is more flexible, more stable and has more resources, according to the agency.
“We’ve had a close relationship with Franklin County for decades,” said executive director of the merged entity, John Bidwell, who previously served as executive director of the United Way of Hampshire County. A 28-member board of directors will also lead the organization.
