West Metro Weekly

West Metro Chamber Weekly - June 1, 2020

Dear West Metro Chamber Members,

We are excited to see businesses opening, people getting out, but please remember Jefferson County is still under Safer at Home. There are many numbers circulating and I want to try to help explain some of the Jefferson County Public Health’s numbers.

There have been 25,121 cases of COVID-19 in Colorado and 1,421 deaths among cases (1,168 deaths due to COVID-19) (CDPHE). In Jefferson County, there have been 2,506 cases of COVID-19 in Jefferson County (confirmed and probable) and 167 total deaths (JCPH) – (approximately 80 of those are in nursing home facilities/87 are not).

To break this down even more – Jefferson County has about 10% of the entire state’s cases; and that puts our county’s deaths at approximately 7.5% of the state’s deaths. Covid-19 is not gone. Yes, we may wish it was, but it’s not.

We all know that our economy needs to keep moving, but safely. And, to that end, Jefferson County and JC Public Health did just file a variance to open additional businesses prior to the state, as other counties have done. We will continue to update what is happening as it moves along. Our Jeffco Taskforce continues to work with Chambers, Public Health, EDC’s and the county to keep our economy open.

Again, please feel free to reach out to me at pam@westmetrochamber.org or Madison at madison@westmetrochamber.org .

Yours,

Pam
