Tracking the spread of coronavirus in Fort Collins, Colorado and across the United States has proven extremely difficult since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. Lags in testing at the federal level, shifting availability of testing resources and inconsistent reporting from an expanding list of testing facilities have all contributed to significant gaps in information about the outbreak's spread.

Ever since Colorado reported its first coronavirus case on March 5, health officials across the state have waged a war on an enemy that pays no attention to geographic boundaries in its spread. As such, it's been hard for experts, let alone residents, to sort through the ever-evolving reports.

The Coloradoan is in constant contact with state, county, municipal and community sources to bring you the latest about confirmed coronavirus cases in Northern Colorado. While information from all those sources doesn't always align neatly, we hope this guide will offer the latest known and confirmed information about each case in Larimer County, along with those in neighboring counties. When applicable, links to related stories are provided.

This tracker, along with the rest of the Coloradoan's coronavirus outbreak reporting, is being provided free as a public health benefit.
