The total new COVID-19 outbreaks announced by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is less than half the size of last week s list. But this upbeat development is tempered by the number of outbreaks involving children and younger teens, a demographic for which no vaccine is available at this time. The entries also include the state s first bus outbreak in this case, an outbreak on a school bus.
The CDPHE considers an entity an outbreak after two or more COVID-19 cases among residents, staffers or other people connected to a specific location are confirmed within a fourteen-day period, or two or more cases of respiratory illness with an onset of symptoms within a fourteen-day period are paired with at least one additional COVID-19 diagnosis. The vast majority of businesses and facilities identified as outbreaks remain open while working with the department to monitor symptoms and prevent future infections.

Remains of the Amache internment camp, approximately one mile southwest of Granada, Colorado.
The coronavirus pandemic has stalled the push to establish the Amache internment camp in southeastern Colorado as a unit of the National Park System. The Colorado Sun reports the crisis has stifled the normal schedule of public comment and wreaked havoc on the prescribed timeline.
At first, the trip unfolded as just an academic tracing of family history.
John Tonai had for years heard the stories from his father, Minoru, about the Amache internment camp in southeastern Colorado, where the U.S. government transported thousands of Japanese Americans from California and held them behind barbed wire and guard posts for three years during World War II. The family lore became a constant soundtrack that, over time, receded to a kind of background noise always heard, seldom absorbed.
