As COVID-19 Joint Information Center spokesperson Paul Bishop told Westword earlier this month, "It is likely that the increasing number of outbreaks in this setting reflects the increasing levels of community transmission." If all businesses and events were still obligated to keep state officials informed of COVID cases, the list of new outbreaks would be higher. Also impacted were government offices in Alamosa and Weld counties, a Kroger food-packaging facility, a program at the University of Denver and a Trader Joe's at 18374 Cottonwood Drive in Parker. Other outbreaks of note include eleven at child-care centers and five at K-12 schools. The most tragic involves the assisted living area at Denver's Brookdale Parkplace, at 111 Emerson Street the CDPHE has connected it to eighteen resident cases and two resident deaths.

The latest update includes outbreaks at 66 such centers, up from 47 a week earlier, and the number of infections among residents and staffers recall the earliest days of the pandemic.

The jump was driven largely by the health-care category, including senior-care facilities, which are still under a mandate to inform the state about infections. New outbreak reports went from 62 on May 18 to 93 on May 25, despite the change in reporting requirements. According to the CDPHE breakdown, 56.85 percent of cases were linked to Omicron 2, 38.85 percent to Omicron 3, 3.18 percent to Omicron 4, 0.80 percent to Omicron 1 and 0.32 percent to Omicron 5, with no other strains detected. Meanwhile, COVID-19 samples sequenced by the agency during the week of May 8, the most recent for which information is available, show that the strains shorthanded as Omicron 2 and Omicron 3 have fresh competition from two other variants. The state's seven-day-average positivity rate of 9.20 on May 25 is even worse than the 8.68 percent registered on May 18 both are well above the 5 percent threshold the state health department prefers not to surpass.But that's still a pace of around 100 per month. The CDPHE toll for the week of May 25 is 25, compared to 26 on May 18.

Fortunately, fatality figures haven't seen a similar rise.Likewise, the average of 163 COVID patients for the week of May 24 was last topped by 246 on March 8.

Meanwhile, the Omicron variant of the virus continues to mutate. Yet the agency's list of new outbreak sites increased by 50 percent this week anyway, even as other statistics related to the disease in Colorado are hitting some of their highest levels in recent months. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is no longer requiring most businesses and events to report outbreaks of COVID-19.
