According to government data posted Friday afternoon, 9,047 people were infected with the new coronavirus in Colorado among 43,307 people who have been tested since the outbreak began. There were 1,693 people hospitalized, and 391 deaths were confirmed.

The Colorado Hospital Association said the latest statewide numbers show a "leveling off" of hospitalized patients due to so many Coloradans following the stay-at-home order. Darlene Tad-y, the association's vice president of clinical affairs, said our state is "doing an extraordinary job of social distancing, leading to this flattening of our curve."

If that trend continues, the statewide stay-at-home order — which is set to end April 26 — won't need to be extended, Gov. Jared Polis said in a news conference Wednesday. He said the order has been "horrific" for our economy.
