DENVER (AP) — As nursing home infections decrease, Colorado health officials say more people are contracting COVID-19 in retail locations, such as stores and restaurants.
The Denver Post reported that outbreaks in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and group homes contributed to a high death toll in March and April, but the state health department reported that there was only one new outbreak in such a facility in the last week of June compared to multiple at retail locations. A state spokesman says the number of outbreaks could reflect a combination of workplaces reopening and increased testing.
