Metrics that Define the Levels
- New cases: How much the virus is circulating in a county.
- Percent positivity: Whether there is sufficient COVID-19 testing to capture the level of virus transmission.
- Impact on hospitalizations: Whether hospitalizations are increasing, stable, or declining
These three metrics below come from the CDPHE Dial Dashboard, and are regularly updated on Mondays and Thursdays. The most current data is always available on the dashboard.
