Incidence levels of COVID-19 are down in Eagle County, while vaccination numbers are up.
Eagle County Emergency Management Director Birch Barron said it’s “pretty much solid good news all around” on Tuesday when he delivered his weekly update to the county commissioners.
Last week, the county’s COVID-19 incidence rate cases per 100,000 people had inched into Level Orange, which is “high risk,” and that had local public health officials concerned. But this week, the county’s incidence is solidly in the Level Yellow ”concerned” realm.
“Eagle County has been flirting with orange for a while now,” said Barron. “The last thing we want to see right now is to have that disease level climb.”
