New COVID-19 infections in Colorado rose for the second straight week and hospitalizations for the virus increased Monday, though it’s too early to know whether that’s the beginning of an upward trend that’s trailing the recent rise in cases.

As of Monday afternoon, 401 people were hospitalized across the state with confirmed or suspected COVID-19, a one-day increase of 25 and the highest level since March 1.

One bit of good news is that new cases and hospitalizations are decreasing for people over 65, who were the most likely to get seriously sick or die, Carlton said.

The odds of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 increase with every decade of life, so it’s unlikely the state would exceed hospital capacity after vaccinating significant numbers of seniors, Carlton said.

Still, it’s likely hospitalizations will go up at least a small amount, because younger people can still get severely sick, she said.

Overall hospitalizations have remained steady at the health system, but there are more younger people hospitalized than there were a year ago, said Dr.
