Colorado restaurants, grocery stores, camps and more with active coronavirus outbreaks

Only two Colorado grocery stores still have active COVID-19 outbreaks, along with 28 restaurants.

DENVER — As of Wednesday, there have been 502 confirmed outbreaks of the novel coronavirus in businesses, nursing homes, prisons, homeless shelters and more across the state since the COVID-19 pandemic began in early March.

According to the latest data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), 179 of them are still considered active. If an outbreak is considered resolved, CDPHE said that means that “28 days have passed with no new illness.”

New additions on the outbreak list this week include a church in El Paso County, Royal Gorge Rafting & Zipline Tours in Fremont, a Dick’s Sporting Goods in Arapahoe County, and the Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center, which reported its second outbreak.

So far, nursing homes have accounted for the deadliest COVID-19 outbreaks in Colorado. The JBS meatpacking plant is the largest among staff, with 289 confirmed, cumulative cases of the novel coronavirus among staff and six deaths.
