As COVID-19 impacts our local communities, many may be searching for more information regarding impacts. Weather.com is offering COVID-19 statistics by county in Colorado.

On the Weather app on an iPhone, when viewing the weather in a city, click the small ‘The Weather Channel’ icon in the lower-left which will open a browser window.  Then click the COVID-19 button in the lower right of the browser window to see statistics for the county in which the city is located.

When viewing weather for the city of your choice on Weather.com in a browser window on a workstation, click on the red COVID-19 button on the right side of the taskbar near the top of the browser window.  For cities in Colorado, you will be shown statistics for the county in which the city is located.

Statistics provided by Weather.com are usually consistent with those published by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) at https://covid19.colorado.gov/case-data. The CDPHE publishes statistics daily by about 4:00 PM. Each daily update includes cases reported through the previous day.

The statistics below were published by the CDPHE on April 1st for March 31st and before for Boulder, Weld, and Larimer Counties.

Cases include people who had a positive lab test and cases which public health identified and determined were likely to have COVID-19 because of their symptoms and close contact with someone who tested positive. The number of untested cases included in the total case count is a very small portion of the total cases reported.

Infection and mortality reports may take a day or two to reach the CDPHE and to then be verified and published.

County rates per 100,000 are calculated using 2018 population estimates from the Demography Section, Colorado Division of Local Government.
