COVID prom: Fort Collins high schools host senior prom dances

Heidi Acott had been thinking about the dress she would wear to her senior prom since middle school.  When the Rocky Mountain High School senior arrived Saturday night in the dress she had designed and made with her grandmother accompanied by her matching mask  it likely was not the prom she had dreamt about. But she was excited nonetheless.  Acott had no hesitations about attending her senior prom despite it being hosted in a parking lot and her only being able to dance with the friends she signed up with  because it s a rite of passage. Her pod of three entered the parking lot excited to play games and dance the night away, even if they were limited to their assigned square.

COVID-19 K-12 School Outbreaks Explode Colorado April 2021

At this point in the COVID-19 pandemic, with vaccination rates going up and inoculations now available to anyone over fifteen, officials had hoped that case counts would be in serious decline. But no: This week s roundup of data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment shows infections and hospitalizations continuing to rise and the number of newly identified outbreaks has skyrocketed. The 170 new outbreak sites in the state listed on the CDPHE s just-released April 28 survey represents a 13.166 percent increase in just seven days and the spike is paced by an explosion of outbreaks at schools in which the overwhelming majority of positive tests involve students. The 52 outbreaks at K-12 facilities account for well over a quarter of the new outbreaks.

COVID-19 Outbreaks Explode Colorado April 2021

The numbers released by the CDPHE on April 7, however, reflect 626 active and 3,787 resolved outbreaks, adding up to to 4,413 a leap of 127 outbreaks, and more than a 69 percent increase in a week, to the highest weekly total since January 27, as the state was working through the remnants of a holiday surge. Given the overall rise, it s no surprise that several major outbreak categories saw increases this week. Fresh outbreaks at twelve K-12 schools had been included on March 31; fifteen popped up on April 7. Twelve outbreaks at health-care facilities were announced on March 31 and again on April 7, but nine of the latest are at facilities that cater to vulnerable seniors, as opposed to six a week earlier. There are eight more outbreaks at retailers, led by the giant Costco complex in Westminster seen at the top of this post.
