Summit County reported 122 COVID-19 cases and four hospitalizations among residents over the week, according to the county’s coronavirus webpage.
The total number of positive cases among residents is now at 2,834 and 114 people have been hospitalized with the virus.
Since Colorado switched over to Dial 2.0, which looks at COVID metrics on a one-week average rather than two-week average, the county’s numbers have remained in level orange or lower.
As of Friday, Feb. 12, the county’s one-week incidence rate was 306.6 new cases per 100,000 people, down 70.4 cases from last week. The number falls within level orange on the dial. To be within the lower yellow level it would need to be 300 or lower.

At a town hall Friday, Feb. 5, Public Health Director Amy Wineland said county officials identified two cases of the COVID-19 variant strain over the week, as well.
The county also reported 41 hospitalizations.

The new total number of hospitalizations among residents since March 5 is 110.
On Friday, Gov. Jared Polis announced a new dial, which looks at data on a seven-day average as opposed to the 14-day average it was using. The new dial also changes the incidence rate requirements for each level. Level orange would include counties with seven-day incidence rates averaging 300-500 new cases per 100,000 peop
