Thirteen COVID-19 cases confirmed in mountain area
Of 130 COVID-19 cases in Jefferson County, 13 are in Evergreen or the surrounding unincorporated mountain community, according to new information released by Jeffco Public Health.
In all, there are 130 confirmed, probable or suspected cases in Jefferson County as of Wednesday. The first case in Jeffco was confirmed on March 10.
Jeffco Public Health announced its first coronavirus-related death on Wednesday, and that number has since jumped to four. Seventeen people have been hospitalized. Despite the jump in numbers, the governor and public health officials continue to maintain that the actual number is much higher than what’s been confirmed due to a lack of testing.
