Colorado Coronavirus Update: Death Toll Reaches 680

Colorado's statewide stay-at-home order ended Sunday, and the 'safer-at-home' executive order takes effect Monday. Some counties — including Denver, Boulder, Jefferson, Arapahoe, Broomfield and Adams counties — have extended their stay-at-home orders through May 8.

According to government data posted Sunday afternoon, 13,441 people were infected with the new coronavirus in Colorado among 63,274 people who have been tested since the outbreak began. There were 2,438 people hospitalized, and the death toll has reached 680.

Under the safer-at-home order, retail businesses can open for curbside delivery beginning Monday. Certain elective dental, medical and veterinary procedures can also begin Monday if facilities follow a set of guidelines issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

Denver officials will be analyzing the statewide safer-at-home strategy to develop a phased re-opening plan for May 9, Mayor Michael Hancock said in a news conference Friday.

"Our priority is to keep our residents safe and to save lives," Hancock said. "This virus is not going away and we need to be prepared for the long-term impacts. With the state's guidance, and by taking extra time to be thoughtful and deliberate, we want to ensure that we will have adequate contact tracing and testing capability, and the time to provide the guidance that our residents and business community need to re-open safely."

The extension of the order will give the city time to train staff in COVID-19 case management, contact tracing and monitoring, case investigations and the enforcement of quarantine orders, health officials said.

The extension will also give the city more time to secure additional personal protective equipment and tests. Denver's goal is to boost testing up to 1,000 per day.

"We can rebuild the economy," Hancock said. "What we can't do is replace lives lost."
