Two cases of the novel coronavirus constitute an outbreak, and the numbers are cumulative, meaning if an entity has a certain number of cases, that doesn't mean all those people were sick at once.
New additions to this week's list include eight K-12 schools, two City of Denver facilities (the impound lot and facility maintenance) and six places of worship.
