COLORADO SPRINGS — As COVID-19 patients continue to surge into the city’s hospital beds, Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers toured the hospital and took part in its daily briefing in order to understand the problems health care providers are facing.

Mayor Suthers said six people had died of COVID in the 24 hours leading up to his tour, the second day that has happened in the county.

The 14-day rolling average of patients shows a more drastic increase of 41.7% reaching 180.9 as of Tuesday, according to the El Paso County Public Health COVID Data Dashboard.

He said nurses are often at the bedside of COVID patients as their lone source of human interaction for some patients and sometimes the last ones they see.
