[niman]

UPDATED: March 15, 1:45 p.m. COVID-19 Test Result Overview   Positive*: 131 Total number of people tested at the state lab**: 758

*Originally we classified cases as “presumptive positive” until they could be re-tested by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC confirmed we no longer need to send positive cases for re-testing because the test they perform is identical to the CDPHE testing. Therefore, all positive cases reported here are confirmed positive.   **Now that private labs are conducting testing, the positive cases number represents all positive cases in the state. Private labs are not required to report negative numbers to the state, so we are not reporting total numbers of negative cases.   Please note: information may change slightly as more information is collected on each patient.   Positive cases by county of residence   Adams County: 6 Arapahoe County: 15 Boulder County: 3 Clear Creek County: 1 Denver County: 24 Douglas County: 8 Eagle County: 22 El Paso County: 4 Garfield County: 1 Gunnison County: 8 Jefferson County: 12 Larimer County: 1 Mesa County: 1 Pitkin County: 2 Pueblo County: 1 Summit County: 1 Weld County: 5 Unknown county: 1 Out of state visitors - 15 (Currently located in these counties:)      Pitkin - 9      Eagle - 2      Routt - 1      Denver - 1      Waiting on information - 2   Deaths: One female in her 80s from El Paso County   Age: Teenage – 7 20s – 13 30s – 26 40s – 24 50s – 26 60s – 16 70s – 14 80s – 5   Resident/Visitor: Residents: 115 Visitors: 16   Sex: Female: 63 Male: 68 https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRSxDeeJEaDxir0cCd9Sfji8ZPKzNaCPZnvRCbG63Oa1ztz4B4r7xG_wsoC9ucd_ei3--Pz7UD50yQD/pub
