Fremont County is taking one more step toward the most relaxed color on Colorado’s Covid-19 Dial. The county will move to Level Blue effective today.
The move is in response to the decline in Covid-19 case rates, test positivity and hospitalizations.
According to the Fremont County Department of Public Health, as of yesterday, Fremont County’s one-week positivity rate is 2.6 percent.
Under Level Blue, indoor restaurants may operate at 50 percent capacity or 175 people, last call is moved from 11 pm to midnight, gyms can operate at 50 percent capacity, and outdoor events can have 250 people.
