Why hotels in the Roaring Fork Valley are seeing so much less traffic than those in resort towns like Jackson Hole is a central question in an ongoing debate in Pitkin County. Health officials there have reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic in two ways that health officials in Teton County have not: by requiring visitors to fill out a form confirming theyâve tested negative before arriving in Aspen and shutting down indoor dining when cases peaked in early January.

The Teton County Department of Health will announce Monday how people with chronic health conditions can sign up for a COVID-19 vaccine.
That priority group will include conditions like cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, solid organ transplant, sickle cell disease, down syndrome and pregnancy.
âThose are all defined on our website,â Teton County Director of Health Jodie Pond said at Fridayâs community COVID-19 update streamed from Town Hall. âTheyâre very specific. So please, before you sign up, you have to meet the criteria for what those chronic conditions are.â
Although pregnant women are part of that priority group, health officials are encouraging them to talk with their health care providers about their individual needs.
