“The drop in COVID-19 hospitalizations is very encouraging and something that most healthcare workers are celebrating,” said Anuj Mehta, a pulmonary care physician at Denver Health [and assistant professor of medicine at CU School of Medicine].

Hospital staff are relieved and tired, said Michelle Barron, an infectious disease expert at UCHealth [and professor of medicine at CU School of Medicine], earlier in March, but she’s also cautiously optimistic about the ongoing improving hospital trends in Colorado.
