NE Colorado records one more death due to COVID

A Sedgwick County death due to COVID-19 increased the northeast Colorado death number to 52 this week.

Last week’s report in this paper on COVID numbers reported that all counties in Colorado had seen cases. That was an incorrect statement. Cases have been reported in 63 counties, but Kiowa County is the lone holdout with no reported incidences of COVID-19.

Positive COVID-19 cases were reported Monday, Aug. 3, as follows:

— Northeast Colorado: 1,451 cases (increase of 13 in last week), including Morgan County, 677; Logan County, 648; Yuma County, 62; Washington County, 47; Phillips County, 19; and Sedgwick County, 11. The Northeast Colorado Health Department also reported that Morgan County has had 46 deaths, Logan County five, and Sedgwick County one for the first increase since the June 8 update.
