Testing[edit]

Despite the urgency for testing Coloradans for COVID-19, many people have been frustrated with the state's limited testing capacity and slow response time.[1] Governor Jared Polis has noted that expanding testing capacity is "absolutely critical", yet limited supplies and a small number of trained medical staff have resulted in a low testing rate.[1] While CDPHE implemented a mobile testing site in Lowry, Denver (later moved to the Denver Colosseum), the site closed due to long lines.[2] As of March 18, no private laboratories were performing tests[1] and only people who exhibited the most severe symptoms were being prioritized for testing.[3] While some tests can be completed in a matter of hours, Colorado's test results have taken up to five days.
