As part of the October 7th Pitkin County Public Health Order, the County has adopted the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s (CDPHE) COVID-19 Dial. The dial has five levels ranging from ‘Protect Our Neighbors’ to ‘Extreme Risk’. The metrics used to define the levels are new cases, percent positivity, and impact on hospitalizations. Pitkin County will move between levels based on these three metrics. Pitkin County is currently in LEVEL Red: Severe Risk. To view Pitkin County’s current data and the guidelines and restrictions see below.
In addition to the three state-required metrics, Pitkin County Public Health will continue to closely monitor local data to evaluate the spread of disease transmission in our community. View our additional metrics dashboard here.
