DENVER, Colorado (KKTV) -- Gov. Jared Polis announced Thursday afternoon that he learned of the first "presumptive" positive case of COVID-19, coronavirus, case in Colorado. The patient in the first case recently skied at Keystone and Vail after arriving in Colorado on Feb. 29 at DIA.

 

 

During a news conference, the governor announced he had learned of a second presumptive case for a Douglas County woman, not tied to the first.

MORE ON EACH CASE FROM CDPHE

1st case:
Colorado has its first case of COVID-19. The case is considered a “presumptive positive” because testing was conducted at the state level. The case will be sent to the CDC for official confirmation.

-The patient is an out-of-state visitor to Summit County, a male in his 30s.

-The patient traveled to Italy in mid-February. An individual who traveled with him on that trip is a known case of positive COVID-19 in another state. Upon returning from Italy, the patient spent time in his home state.

-He then traveled to Colorado on Feb. 29 via plane. He was asymptomatic when he traveled to Colorado. According to CDC, transmission from asymptomatic people is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

-The Governor’s Office has been in touch with Denver International Airport (DIA) and has shared the information that we have at this time.

-The person traveled to Summit County from DIA in a rental vehicle and met with friends. They stayed in a condo in Summit County.

-We know that he was there for outdoor recreation and that he skied at Keystone and Vail Mountain Resort.

-The Governor’s Office notified Vail Resorts late this afternoon which oversees both ski resorts the patient visited.

-On March 3, the man developed symptoms and went to St. Anthony’s Summit Medical Center in Frisco the following day.

-On March 4, in the afternoon, a specimen was taken to the lab for testing.

-March 5, the state lab received a presumptive positive result.

-For health care reasons, the patient had to be transported to lower altitudes. The patient was discharged and traveled in a private vehicle to Jefferson County wearing a mask.

-At this time, the patient is now recovering in isolation in Jefferson County.

-His close contacts in Colorado have received quarantine instructions, and a quarantine order is forthcoming.

-Public health practitioners are investigating and will attempt to notify anyone else who may have been exposed because of this case, if necessary.

2nd case

-The case is an elderly female Douglas county resident.

-She returned to Colorado from international travel.

-She is currently isolated at her home per CDC guidelines

I agree with the poster above who complained that this topic is being made too political. It shouldn't be political at all.

 

Just give us the facts, keep us informed, and work to protect the public.  It's basically job one of the government.

 

Unfortunately, that isn't happening. From the top down.  And we're getting fed misinformation that has to be corrected.

 

It's dumb.

Agreed, this shouldn't be political.

 

It became political due to the Administration's incompetence, propensity to put personal interest over the country's, and inability to be truthful and/or transparent. Their actions made it inherently political. Instead of competent response, we get:

  • Trump who can't spell Coronavirus.
  • Pence of all people named the Czar.
  • Trump more concerned with the stock market than the response.
  • Director of the National Economic Council weighing in on medical facts.
  • Trump spending his time with Diamond & Silk, Dean Cain, or tweeting BS about the Democratic primaries.
  • CDC website editing their website to hide testing numbers.
  • Trump cutting the NSC that would respond to something like this and trying to cut the CDC budget.
  • Whistleblower fired after complaining that more than a dozen workers who received the first Americans evacuated from Wuhan, China, lacked proper training or protective gear for coronavirus infection control.
  • Pretty much everyone in the Administration spreading misinformation.

You can't let this happen, get called out on it, and then cry the "shouldn't be political" card at the reaction instead of the actions.
