The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment just reported nearly 150 new COVID-19 outbreaks identified in the past week. Well over half of them are located in four counties, including Denver, that are currently at Level Red on the agency s dial dashboard, a system that transitioned from compulsory to advisory on April 16.
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.

After nearly a year of learning mostly online, Denver fourth- and fifth-graders are back in classrooms. To better understand how students are feeling about the decision, the school board invited several students and their parents to share their perspective Thursday.
While many Denver parents called for the district to reopen school buildings, not everyone is sending their children. And teachers have repeatedly voiced safety concerns, even holding a drive-thru vigil outside district headquarters during the board’s virtual meeting.
Board President Carrie Olson started Thursday by asking each student to introduce themselves and talk about what returning to in-person learning has been like for them.
