As COVID-19 impacts our local communities, many may be searching for more information. 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 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. 

A delay may occur between announcements and the publishing of the data.

Rates per 100,000 published by the CDPHE are consistent with estimates for current county populations in 2018 at https://demography.dola.colorado.gov/population/data/
