Despite the recent mandated quarantine placed upon students in Braiden and Summit halls, Colorado State University no longer leads Colorado universities in positive COVID-19 cases. 

As of Sept. 25, CSU has reported 319 positive COVID-19 cases since the beginning of June, which is the second highest number on Colorado campuses, according to a tracker put together by The New York Times.  

The Collegian reported Aug. 31 that CSU, then at just over 80 recorded COVID-19 cases since May, led universities across the state in COVID-19 numbers, with the University of Colorado Boulder at 66 positive cases. 

CU Boulder has now reported 1,019 positive COVID-19 cases since Aug. 24 on their COVID-19-Ready Dashboard, which was last updated Sept. 26, and has transitioned to remote learning for at least two weeks, effective Sept. 23, according to an update on their website. 

Since Aug. 24, CSU has reported 160 positive cases. 

Additionally, CSU has conducted more than 15,760 tests, updated as of Sept. 23, according to the testing summary on the COVID-19 Recovery website. CU Boulder has conducted 4,320 tests, updated as of Sept. 25. 

This puts CSU’s positive COVID-19 percentage rate at 2.02% and CU Boulder’s positive COVID-19 percentage rate at 23.6%.
