Major League Baseball s All-Star Game events in Denver led to a COVID-19 outbreak that s infected 14 attendees, according to state data released Wednesday.
The data doesn t detail whether all of the cases are linked or if they originated from a specific event or location. The information, posted weekly by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, identifies 14 cases that were reported to health officials on July 21, eight days after the All-Star Game itself.
City officials did not immediately respond to a message sent to a Denver spokeswoman.
State and local officials, including Gov. Jared Polis and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, have said the All-Star Game did not lead to an increase in cases in Denver or statewide. Both have seen an increase in COVID-19 s presence in recent weeks.

DENVER New guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) did not automatically trigger a new mask mandate in the state of Colorado, but that doesn’t mean one isn’t coming.
While the statewide emergency order in response to COVID-19 has expired, the office of the governor maintains the ability to issue a new mask order, his office told 9NEWS. As of Tuesday afternoon, Gov. Jared Polis’ office said they are reviewing the new information from the CDC that comes amid a surge of cases spurred by the delta variant.
