The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) announced new numbers saturday. There are 24 new presumptive positive cases in Colorado, based on overnight test results. There are now a total of 101 presumptive positive cases .
CDPHE says the test results include 20 from the state lab and 4 from private testing facilities that are receiving samples from health care providers. The state can confirm completed test results on approximately 800 people in Colorado since testing started on February 28.
Because of the large number of new cases, CDPHE is shifting to report aggregate data for new cases, instead of listing details on each specific case. Additionally, the release of these updated numbers of cases will be released once per day, at approximately noon.
