Testing
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. 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. While CDPHE implemented a mobile testing site in Lowry, Denver (later moved to the Denver Colosseum), the site closed due to long lines. As of March 18, no private laboratories were performing tests and only people who exhibited the most severe symptoms were being prioritized for testing. While some tests can be completed in a matter of hours, Colorado's test results have taken up to five days.
