Over a dozen free COVID-19 testing sites in the Denver metro are closing this weekend.
CBS Denver reported the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment will close roughly a third of its testing sites in May. Around 80 sites will remain operational.
The closing of the testing sites comes as COVID-19 rates are trending upward in the state, with the 7-day positivity rate at almost 6%, twice as much as it was 30 days ago. However, hospitalizations are remaining low, with nearly 100 reported on Friday.
Roughly 50 homes in Denver's Berkeley neighborhood were clear of water on Sunday, a week after a water main break flooded them. However, for some homeowners, the nightmare has just begun.
For some homes, the flooding managed to separate the foundation and leave cracks throughout, Denver7 reported. Contractors were hired by Denver water to fix homes that sustained heavy damage.
A Denver Water spokesperson said on Sunday that roughly 4 million gallons of water were lost during the main break. Denver water received around a dozen claims for damaged vehicles in addition to the 50 homes that saw flooding.
