DENVER — There are 88 fewer active COVID-19 outbreaks in the state than a week ago, according to the largest data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
As of the list distributed Wednesday, there were 741 active COVID-19 outbreaks in Colorado, and 3,113 that are categorized as resolved. Last week, 829 outbreaks were listed as active, down from 895 the week before.
This happens as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Colorado continue to decline after a winter peak, and the state works to vaccinate healthcare workers, teachers and people over 65.
Some of the largest outbreaks added to this week's list were at a church in Larimer County where four staff members and 16 attendees have tested positive for COVID-19, as well as a dance studio in El Paso County, where eight staff members and 25 attendees have tested positive for the virus.

Three relatively small outbreaks were reported at healthcare facilities in the past week, according to the data. Four school outbreaks were reported since last week.
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.
For an outbreak to be resolved, CDPHE said 28 days must pass with no new illnesses.
