Colorado Stay-At-Home Order Update: Most Compliant Counties
Compliance update: Which Colorado counties are following the stay-at-home order? Researchers are tracking cell phone data anonymously.
Colorado health officials say the state is beginning to see a "leveling off" of the new coronavirus spread due to so many residents complying with the stay-at-home order. The order remains in effect until Sunday, and Denver's order is set to end April 30.
The data company SafeGraph has posted its latest report that shows the percent of people staying home in each state and county. Researchers used anonymous smartphone data to track who didn't leave their homes at all.
It will come as no surprise that the recent snowy weather has boosted compliance across the state. Over the past ten days, Colorado has been among the top 10 states for compliance in the U.S., the data show.
