Staff report
Colorado reached a significant vaccination milestone this week that allowed the 5-Star State Certification Program to begin Wednesday, according to a news release from Pitkin County.
The program holds local businesses that apply to a higher standard of COVID-19 safety precautions in exchange for allowing them to operate at the next lower color-coded level of restrictions than is currently in place in the county. For example, while Pitkin County currently operates under the Yellow-level restrictions, 5-Star certified businesses are allowed to operate under Blue-level restrictions.
Under Yellow restrictions, most businesses were allowed 50% capacity restrictions. Blue restrictions also limit most businesses to 50% capacity, though those limits increase depending on space available, according to state guidelines.

New green space to heal an open wound in the heart of Rome.
Rome mayor Virginia Raggi has announced that works are underway to create a Baroque-style garden above the underground car park on Via Giulia, the historic street running parallel to the Tiber.
The green space, which is set to breathe new life into an area that has been abandoned for years, will heal an open wound in the heart of the city, said Raggi. Everyone will have happened at least once to walk along Via Giulia, one of the most evocative and ancient streets of Rome, the mayor said.
