San Juan Basin Public Health announced that both Archuleta and La Plata counties have moved into the Safer at Home Level 1 phase of reopening by meeting specific criteria defined by the state.
Reaching this next, less-restrictive phase in the state’s public health order framework means that maximum gathering sizes and venue capacities may increase depending on the size of the event and venue.
For the full list of changes, visit the CDPHE Safer at Home website.
Archuleta and La Plata counties qualified for Safer At Home Level 1 status by maintaining low numbers of new COVID-19 cases, low rates of people testing positive at local testing sites, and seeing no increase in hospitalizations within the counties, all for the last 14 days. Anyone who has COVID-19 symptoms or believes they have been exposed either through a known exposure or through community transmission should get tested.
SJPBH continues to highlight these important public health precautions:
Keep at least 6 feet of away from others.Wear face coverings in public places and when interacting with others.Stay home if sick.Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or suspect exposure.For information, visit www.covid19.colorado.gov/data/covid-19-dial.
