showed Colorado averaged an eye-catching 1,323 new COVID-19 cases per day over the previous week. But the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment showed a more-modest average of 446 cases per day.
For Colorado, the most recent daily number was 1,831 — the difference between 1,363,400 on Thursday and 1,365,231 on Friday.
