Coronavirus Update In Littleton: New Cases, Deaths

LITTLETON, CO — Because coronavirus public health data is based on Littleton addresses, many of which are outside the city's boundaries, an exact case count has been difficult to assess in the city. According to the Tri-County Health Department and Jeffco Public Health, the following number of cases have been linked to Littleton addresses, but may not all be in the city's boundaries:

• Littleton addresses (Arapahoe County side): 177 cases since the outbreak began
• Littleton addresses (Jefferson County side): 356 cases since the outbreak began

*A Douglas County count was not available

There have been more than 7,700 cases of the new coronavirus in Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties since the outbreak began, according to data posted by state health officials.
