Description

A new query tool — which allows people to search for outbreaks by county— has been added to Colorado's coronavirus outbreak map. You can look up which restaurants, grocery stores, childcare centers, colleges, shelters, jails, hospitals and facilities have reported outbreaks. To look up outbreaks in your neighborhood, you can access the interactive map here. Use the plus or minus symbols in the upper left corner to zoom in on your area, and look up your county using the icon posted underneath the white 'Zoom To Address or City' box. After you type your county name, a list of local outbreaks should appear with a scroll-down box. An explanation of each symbol can be found on the upper left side of the map. A gray marker is the symbol for resolved outbreaks. The map is updated every Wednesday with new outbreaks reported to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

"In limited circumstances, if the location of an outbreak is a home address or a shelter, or if the address information submitted is incomplete, a close approximation of the true address may be used," public health officials said. >> For more outbreak data, visit the state's data page.
