Adams County Coronavirus Outbreaks In Stores: March 10

ADAMS COUNTY, CO —Nearly 4,000 coronavirus outbreaks have been reported in Colorado since the pandemic began, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

The number of stores and restaurants reporting outbreaks in Denver's metro area has declined over the past month, according to state public health data.

Adams County businesses have strict cleaning procedures and coronavirus safety measures in place; however, some are still dealing with ongoing outbreaks due to the number of people who visit in person each week.

Some outbreaks have lasted more than two months since they were first detected.
