Boulder County officials: Recently infected residents with coronavirus reported being at Hill parties or protest


As Boulder County officials reported five new coronavirus-related deaths Friday and 13 new cases, they also announced the 17 cases reported in the past three days involved people who reported attending parties in the Hill neighborhood between May 25 and June 4 in Boulder or a protest on June 5.

In a news release Friday, health officials noted that some of those newly infected also reported ill household members and recent travel. Officials urged anyone who may have attended a party in the Hill neighborhood or the protest march in Boulder on these dates or who believes they may have been within six feet for 10 minutes or more with someone who has COVID-19 to immediately quarantine for 14 days since the last exposure, to monitor for symptoms, and to get tested for COVID-19.

Public health spokeswoman Chana Goussetis confirmed in an email that the protest some of the people who tested positive for coronavirus had reported attending was one organized by University of Colorado Boulder coaches and athletes in response to the death of George Floyd, a black man who died May 25 after a white Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck while arresting him.

Health officials could not say how many of the individuals attended any of the specified events.

1. Damn! My daughter lives in Boulder

But she is not going to parties, and I don't believe she participated in the protests. Her roommate is medically fragile, so she's being very careful about doing the right things.
