Gov. Jared Polis declared a state of emergency in response to the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by a widespread coronavirus, as the number of cases in Colorado grew to at least 15.
“Our administration’s response will be guided by the science and lessons learned from the countries and states that this virus arrived in first,” Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement. “We will continue to be proactive and working around the clock to protect public health and safety with an eye towards preventing the need for more drastic measures that result in social disruption.”
Polis’ announcement March 10 came as Arapahoe County saw its first two cases announced that morning and the previous night. One is a man in his 50s, and the other is a woman in her 30s.
The woman recently returned from travel to India and lives in Centennial, according to the Tri-County Health Department, which oversees Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. No further information on how the man contracted COVID-19 was immediately available.
