The data displayed on this data dashboard comes from three sources.
- Data on COVID-19 cases and outbreaks is being collected by the Pitkin County Disease Investigation Team. COVID-19 cases and outbreaks include resident and non-resident infants, children, students, teachers, and staff who attend or work in a daycare or school (Kindergarten to Grade 12) in the Pitkin County. Due to the school mask’s mandate, PCPH does not require quarantine for custody and school contacts, only exposure notification. However, if the disease investigation determines the exposure to be risky (for example, no use or incorrect use of the mask), unvaccinated children, students, or staff may be asked to self-quarantine. Outbreaks are defined as 5 or more cases related to an exposure event in a school or daycare.
- The 14-day COVID-19 positivity percentage is based on CDPHE reports of all COVID-19 tests among school-age and childcare residents of Pitkin County (0-18 years old). Percentage positivity estimates are grouped by grade using approximate ages because test providers do not collect information on child care or school attendance. A 14-day window was selected over a 7-day window to provide a more accurate picture of the percent positivity when test results are low in certain age groups.
- COVID-19 vaccination rates are displayed from CDPHE reports of all vaccinations among school-age and childcare residents of Pitkin County (12-18 years old). Immunization rates are grouped by grade using approximate ages because immunization providers do not collect information on child care or school attendance. Vaccination rates are based on 2019 age population projections provided by the Colorado State Bureau of Demography. Although these are the best estimates available, they are still limited and vaccination rates can reach> 100% coverage.
The data on COVID-19 cases contained on this web page was collected by Pitkin County Public Health and may not reflect data reported by the Colorado Department Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Test results are displayed from CDPHE reports of all COVID-19 tests among senior residents of Pitkin County students. There may be differences between the CDPHE positivity estimates and those displayed on this dashboard. PCR and Antigen (rapid) test results are displayed in this dashboard while CDPHE only includes PCR results in the positivity estimates. Antibody test results are not included in CDPHE or Pitkin County positivity estimates. Vaccination rates are displayed from CDPHE reports of all vaccinations among senior residents of Pitkin County students.
