There has been a total of 3958 deaths. A total of 288,193 cases have been reported so far in Colorado with a total of 1,955,606 people have been tested and 16,126 people hospitalized with COVID-19 in Colorado. This is a HUGE increase from Oct 30 of 1503 new cases that day, 103,000 cases, and 2295 deaths.

This is real folks and it is incredibly contagious. Stay safe and keep your family and friends safe. As difficult as it is, especially during the holidays, gatherings of more than a few people is only going to put you more at risk.
The vaccine is coming so please check this link to find out more about receiving it.

Also, PLEASE check on your neighbors. If they are ill make sure they are getting the help they need. A simple phone call or a bag of groceries dropped at their doorstep is a huge help for many people at this time. If you go to the store offer to pick up needed items for those people that are at risk or have family members at risk.

Please remember to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; washing every finger thoroughly as well as top and bottom your your hands.
WE CAN BEAT THIS
BUT WE ALL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO
MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
Please remember social distancing....it works!
It is our only chance at containing this dreaded disease!!
STAY SAFE AND STAY WELL!!

And remember Help your Neighbors and Friends and even New Neighbors you may not know yet!!
Check on them to see if they need errands run and may not feel well enough to do it themselves.
