Effective reproductive number (Re) reflects hospitalization data through 11/08/2021. In regions with smaller populations, reported cases are also used to generate these estimates. The prevalence of infections and percent of the population infected is estimated for 11/01/2021. Due to lags between infection and hospitalization, estimates of transmission control and the effective reproductive number represent the spread of infections through approximately 10/26/2021.

The Northeast LPHA region includes Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington, Weld and Yuma counties.

Table 1. Due to lags between infection and hospitalization, the estimated effective reproductive number (Re) reflects the spread of infections approximately two weeks prior to the data of the last observed hospitalization.

Northeast Region
County Daily Average Number of Cases in the past 7 days per 100,000 population
Larimer 53.2
Logan 59.3
Morgan 53.8
Phillips 37.0

Washington 66.6
Weld 63.1
Yuma 48.2

Table 2. Case counts are from the NY Times and reflect cases reported to CDPHE from 11/02/2021 - 11/08/2021. Cases are grouped based on the date they are reported. Population data are 2020 estimates from the Colorado Demography Office. These estimates may not represent the full number of COVID-19 cases diagnosed in Colorado during this time period.
