The CDPHE considers an entity an outbreak after two or more COVID-19 cases among residents, staffers or other people connected to a specific location are confirmed within a fourteen-day period, or two or more cases of respiratory illness with an onset of symptoms within a fourteen-day period are paired with at least one additional COVID-19 diagnosis. The vast majority of businesses and facilities identified as outbreaks remain open while working with the department to monitor symptoms and prevent future infections.
Until recently, the state s weekly outbreak reports had been fairly stable, even though the number of new outbreaks had plateaued at a level higher than health officials liked, at 75 on March 24.

“Is there a job for me?” could be the refrain of the nation’s burgeoning cadre of autistic individuals. Their ranks are growing. Since 2000, the prevalence rate of autism in children has nearly tripled from 0.67 percent to 1.85 percent or one in 54 among 8-year-old children.
April is National Autism Awareness Month, and the theme of the Autism Society of America this year has shifted from Autism Awareness to Autism Acceptance in an effort to better help people, including families, acknowledge the presence of autism and the need to act swiftly and do something constructive. One way, the Autism Society says, is through job opportunities.
