Larimer County added 37 new coronavirus cases and six new outbreaks to its cumulative tally on Thursday.
The list of confirmed and probable cases since the first case in March reached 2,603 on Thursday, while the number of outbreaks reached 59, according to the website for the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment. Of the outbreaks, 17 are active and 42 are considered resolved.
Confirmed cases are those established with a test, while probable are people who have symptoms and a link to a confirmed case but were not tested themselves.
Of the 37 new cases, 34 are confirmed and three are probable. Twenty-eight are Fort Collins residents, five are Loveland residents, two live in Berthoud, one is from Windsor and one from Estes Park.
The oldest is an 86-year-old Fort Collins resident, and the youngest a 4-year-old boy from Fort Collins with others across all age ranges in between. The new cases also include a 13-year-old boy, a 9-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl, all from Fort Collins.
The county also tracks suspect cases, where a person tests positive via an antibody test but never showed symptoms. That number was at 461 on Thursday.
The number of deaths since March is at 53 Larimer County residents, 10 who died in September.
Two or more cases at a business or care facility are considered an outbreak, and the total number of outbreaks in the county has reached 59. Of those, 17 are still active.
The newest outbreaks include: “five attendees” and one staff member at SOAR Basketball, a youth sports group, in Fort Collins; two employees at Paradise Nails and Spa in Fort Collins; six employees of the Little Thompson Water District in Berthoud; and two employees at DS Constructors in Loveland.
Two additional outbreaks were reported at events associated with fraternities and sororities at Colorado State University, bringing the total outbreaks tied to Greek life at the Fort Collins university to five sites with a total of 29 confirmed cases and four probable cases. The newly added outbreaks were at Phi Delta Theta with two “attendees” and Pi Kappa Phi with four, according to the county health department website.
