Colorado's COVID-19 hospitalizations have continued to rise, with mostly unvaccinated patients filling ICUs and acute care wards according to data released on Monday.
On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that students and staff in Douglas County Schools will be required to wear face masks once more, blocking an order by the county's newly created health department.
Meanwhile, an audit found that Colorado's veteran living centers did a better job preventing COVID-19 outbreaks than other, similar facilities.
