“We are, fortunately, seeing a downturn,” said Jean Kutner, Chief Medical Officer at UCHealth’s University of Colorado Hospital [and professor of medicine at CU School of Medicine]. “That said, we still have a lot of people who are getting sick with COVID. Across the whole state, there are more than 1,000 people who have COVID and are still in the hospital. It is definitely getting better, but it is by no means gone.”
