Frequently Asked Question:
- What is an outbreak and how would I find out about one?
- In general, an outbreak is defined as two or more CONFIRMED cases of COVID-19 in a facility or non-household group with onset in a 14 day period. In healthcare and correctional facilities, the cases are defined as being among the residents, not staff.
- Outbreak data is posted each Wednesday on the state’s website. There is also an extensive FAQ and definition of variables. If you have been in close contact with a confirmed case, Broomfield’s public health epidemiology team will be in touch. See here for FAQs on contact tracing.
- The spread of COVID-19 is ongoing in the community. Continue to wash your hands frequently, wear a cloth face covering/mask, and maintain 6 ft of distance from non-household members. Testing for COVID-19 is available; view a list of providers in or near Broomfield.
