31 cases: âLittle too laxâ In the past week, Chaffee County recorded 31 coronavirus cases, including six April 27, eight April 28, ten April 30 and four yesterday, May 3. By comparison, for the seven days from April 11-17, the county reported just six cases. The scenario where a lull in case numbers is followed by a jump in infections seems to be something of a trend. As reported last week, this latest spike was due in part to 12 Salida school students contracting the virus, prompting the district to go to remote learning for some classes. R-32-J Superintendent David Blackburn said the increase in case numbers might be attributable to the community becoming a little too lax in following virus protocols.
