The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) today granted Pitkin County a variance to the Governor’s Safer at Home Executive Order. The Pitkin County Commissioners had applied for the variance to be able to follow the Pitkin County Roadmap to Reopening, based on local data about the spread and impacts of COVID-19. The variance will allow Pitkin County to implement Phase 2 of the Roadmap. If Pitkin County exceeds 18 new cases in one week, excluding outbreak-associated cases in a senior care center, the variance will be rescinded.
