Colorado projects COVID hospitalizations could hit 500 by June as Denver moves to “yellow” risk level

If current COVID-19 trends continue, 500 or more people could be hospitalized with the virus in Colorado by mid-June, according to a new report from the state’s modeling team released Friday.

estimate that BA.2.12.1 accounts for about one-third of infections in the region including Colorado, and is gaining ground on its cousin BA.2.

Counties move into yellow if they had at least 200 new cases per 100,000 people over the last week, or at least 10 COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 people. Denver had 209 cases per 100,000 residents. The new modeling report’s estimate of 500 hospitalizations in Colorado assumes that BA.2.12.1 isn’t significantly better at getting around the immune system than previous versions of omicron and doesn’t cause more severe disease. Some early data suggests that infection with a different version of omicron may not offer strong protection against BA.2.12.1, meaning that even people who had COVID-19 a few months ago could get it again, but that’s not certain.
