Superior COVID-19 Update

This week, Superior recorded 20 new positive COVID-19 cases.  While this may not seem like a huge number, since the pandemic began, Superior has only had 116 recorded positive cases.  So 20 new cases is a significant spike — 17% of the total cases in Superior since the pandemic began have been recorded just this past week.

By publishing Superior’s COVID numbers, I hope our residents will recognize that this isn’t just a problem for our state or our county — it’s a problem right here where we live — and it’s getting worse.  As you can see in the graph above, the rate of positive COVID-19 cases in Superior is increasing.  (Data source: https://www.bouldercounty.org/families/disease/covid-19/covid-19-illness-data/)

We must all take action.  I have already cancelled all my holiday plans and encourage you to do the same  Stay home, stay safe.  If you must go out for essential purposes, wear a mask.  Wash your hands and keep your distance.  

We all are in this together.  Please take care of yourself and our community.
