Coronavirus case update for April 10: Deaths at 250, with 6,510 cases, 1,312 hospitalized; 61 centers with outbreaks
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Friday updated its COVID-19 case numbers to 6,510 cases, with 1,312 patients hospitalized and 250 deaths.
The virus has spread across 56 counties in the state. Denver County has the most cases, with 1,113. Denver also has lost the most people to the virus, with the number of deaths at 42.
El Paso and Weld counties are also high in death counts, at 33 and 40, respectively.
The CDPHE also stated that 32,653 people had been tested for the virus.
The department notes that cases include people who had a positive lab test and cases that public health identified and determined were likely to have COVID-19 because of their symptoms and close contact with someone who tested positive. The number of untested cases included in the total case count is a very small portion of the total cases reported.
The state reported additional outbreaks at residential and non-hospital health care facilities, so the count has risen to 61, with facilities in Fremont, Montrose and Pueblo counties reporting cases for the first time.
Here is the reported list of facilities, as of Friday. Latest additions to the list are boldfaced.
