CDPHE unchanged El Paso County unchanged

No material change since yesterday's check. CDPHE's statewide dashboard still shows its 9/2/2026 weekly refresh (next update due ~9/9), with overall respiratory illness activity in Colorado at Very Low and COVID/flu/RSV ED-visit and sentinel-lab-positivity rates unchanged at near-floor levels. El Paso County's Communicable Disease Data Dashboard is also unchanged (still last updated 8/12/2026; next monthly refresh due ~9/9, the second Wednesday of the month; the animal bite/exposure sub-page remains at 9/3/2026, which isn't a respiratory or communicable-illness signal). The "What's Going Around" bulletin remains discontinued (no issue since Sept. 20, 2025). Nothing here suggests elevated near-term exposure risk for Colorado Springs specifically.
