LATEST: Colorado’s COVID-19 cases and the percentage of tests coming back positive both ticked up over the last week, though they remained near all-time lows.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reported 2,488 new cases in the week ending Sunday, up from 1,598 the previous week — the first week-over-week increase in new infections since the omicron surge peaked in January.
The percentage of tests coming back positive rose slightly on Tuesday and Wednesday, though it remained well below the state’s goal of no more than a 5% positivity rate. The higher the positivity rate is, the more likely it is that the state is missing some cases. It’s not clear if the slight rise in cases represents a real increase in transmission or a fluke, said Beth Carlton, an associate professor of environmental and occupational health at the Colorado School of Public Health. Right now, the odds of encountering the virus while going about daily life in Colorado are still low, but if the numbers continue to trend up, people might want to consider taking precautions again, she said.
