There is a growing outbreak in Colorado stemming from an actively infectious out-of-state traveler who flew through the Denver International Airport (DIA) on May 13th and 14th.

As of June 9, there have been 8 cases in Colorado residents linked to this infectious traveler, including 4 cases who were on the same international flight (Turkish Airways Flight 201 on May 13), and 4 additional cases who were exposed in the airport terminal. Two of the cases have been hospitalized.

The 8 cases include 6 adults and 1 toddler. Four cases were fully vaccinated, the other 3 were unvaccinated. Cases reside in the following counties in Colorado: Arapahoe (4), Denver (1), El Paso (3).

Public exposure locations from these cases are in Aurora, Colorado Springs, Denver, Evergreen, Glendale, Grand Junction, Greenwood Village, and Windsor.
