Colorado Extends Emergency (5:45 p.m. NY)

Colorado Governor Jared Polis on Saturday extended his state of emergency declaration after the three-day moving average of cases started to increase. “The data is now starting to show a reversal of some of our gains,” he said.

Polis said workers in stores and business that interact with the public have been wearing face coverings, and he extended that practice to state employees and contractors dealing with mass transit operations and other services.

LSU Tigers in Quarantine: Report (5:05 p.m. NY)

As many as 30 LSU football players, a quarter of the team, were quarantined this week over virus-related concerns, Sports Illustrated reported, citing sources it didn’t identify. The players were isolated because they tested positive or were found to had contact with those who tested positive, the magazine said.

Shelly Mullenix, the senior associate athletic trainer, declined to confirm details, but told the magazine LSU’s situation matched the nationwide uptick tied to the Memorial Day holiday and widespread mass protests. “It’s not surprising we’re seeing the rise right now,” she told SI. “It’s a pandemic.”

Some players are quarantined after frequenting nightclubs near the Baton Rouge campus in an area called Tigerland, the magazine said. On Friday, the Louisiana Department of Health said more than 100 Tigerland bar-goers tested positive and warned those who have frequented the establishments to quarantine for at least 14 days.

CDC Kits ‘Likely Contaminated,’ HHS Study (4:45 p.m. NY)

One of two test kits developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to detect the “first wave” of the coronavirus failed because some reagents were “likely contaminated,” a Department of Health and Human Services review concluded.

Development of kits began in early January, on a rush basis, and the reagents -- needed to determine final results -- may have been exposed in late January, according to the report. Lab processes may have been insufficient to prevent the contamination risk, although “it is likely that time pressure also contributed,” the report found.

The three-page review, first reported by the Washington Post, didn’t identify any CDC staff responsible.
