As the incidence of Covid-19 cases continues to climb in Chaffee County, county leaders are trying to keep businesses and schools open to the greatest extent for as long as possible.   

Recent further restrictions include: 

  • Only necessary events can take place following the 25 percent or 25-person cap. In-person events are highly discouraged at this time.   
  • Personal gathering size is limited to 10 with no more than two households.   
  • Group sizes seated together at restaurants should exceed no more than 6.     
  • Remote work and staggered shifts are encouraged for all business sectors.     
  • Except for critical business or critical operations of the county, voluntary 14-day self-quarantine is strongly recommended when unnecessary out of county travel occurs.       
  • All residents who have engaged in activities that pose a risk should seek out testing.
