Editor’s note: Due to a data entry error on the Colorado Department of Health Environment’s website, it appeared there had been a one-day increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations in Colorado. That was not the case. This story has been updated to reflect the change in data, and the Colorado Hospital Association said in a statement that CDPHE’s database has been corrected.
