We love to share great news on our podcast, but this time, we need to share some bad news about our COVID-19 numbers.

Over the past two weeks, the incidence of COVID-19 cases in El Paso County has risen significantly. Increasing cases could lead to more stringent restrictions. Please wear a mask, social distance and wash your hands. We all have a part to play, and we need your help to limit the spread and protect our economy, health and well-being.

For September 28 – October 12 our incident rate is 115.8, which is well over the allowed 0-75 incident rate under the Safer at Home Level 2 for El Paso County. That's the number of positive cases per 100,000 people during the given two-week period. It is used to provide an understanding of the impact of the virus in the county.
