Colorado has had at least 6,510 cases of #COVID19. But the state isn't reporting the number of patients who have recovered so we don't know how often it's happening. A family in Aurora reached out to #9News to say it is. Their mom fought the virus for 16 days. Today, she's home.

Before 55-year-old Ines Santacruz was released from UC Health yesterday, she was re-tested for COVID-19. Negative. She told me today, after 10 days on a ventilator, she never thought she would walk up this driveway again. Welcome home Ines! Her story is on #9News at 5 now.
