The state has vaccinated 70% of its 70-and-older population, meaning five-star certified businesses in Summit County now can operate under level blue restrictions, according to the Summit County Public Health Department. For restaurants, that means.
DENVER Colorado is once again reshuffling its coronavirus vaccine distribution plan, this time bumping older and sicker people up in line and moving down most essential workers who were slated to start getting inoculated.
The Summit County Public Health Department just announced possibly moving to level yellow an increase to 50% capacity for restaurants, personal services and gyms/fitness facilities.
In reality, this is just hype. It does nothing for restaurants because the 6-foot rule still applies. We can’t expand the walls to add more tables, and outdoor dining is very cold at this time of year.
Does the county have enough data and information to answer the following question: Is there any concrete and verifiable evidence that someone who dined in a Summit County restaurant tested positive for COVID-19 and was either hospitalized or died?

Marijuana users soon could have more convenient options to purchase dispensary products in Dillon.
The Dillon Town Council is poised to adopt a new ordinance that would allow licensed marijuana stores to sell their products through walk-up or drive-up windows, a new option allowed this year due to changes to the Colorado Department of Revenue’s Marijuana Enforcement Division’s regulations.
No official vote has taken place, but the council has decided to push forward with an ordinance at a future meeting despite a contentious debate that clearly divided council members on the issue.
