The rate of new coronavirus disease cases in Garfield County continues to decline, following state and national trends of late, but there is some concern that the number of people seeking testing has also dropped off.
As of Tuesday, the number of new COVID-19 cases per day over the past two weeks had dropped to less than nine.
The latest seven-day total was 34 cases, and the county’s test positivity rate has dropped to 2.2%.
Both of those measures, and a test-turnaround time of 1.8 days, puts Garfield County at Level Blue, or “cautious,” in terms of risk of disease spread.
