With Archuleta and La Plata counties both in level “Low” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID-19 community levels, community testing and vaccination sites will be phased out in the coming months.

The community vaccination site at the Old Main Post Office in Durango will close on March 31. Other local community vaccination clinics will continue through at least the end of April.

COVID-19 testing sites located at Fort Lewis College, the La Plata County Fairgrounds, and behind the Pagosa Springs Medical Center will likely be closed before June 1.
