After a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, some states are implementing stronger forms of social distancing again.

Notably, Texas and Florida are closing bars again after seeing a spike in cases, setting new daily records for total cases in recent days.

Will Colorado have to follow suit and backpedal on its reopening plan?

In recent days, there's been a minor increase in confirmed cases in Colorado according to the state's department of health. But it's nothing like the record surges in Texas and Florida

So far, Colorado's pandemic peak remains on April 24 when there were 994 new cases.

The peak day for Coronavirus deaths in Colorado was 122 on April 24.
