The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone — regardless of vaccination status — wear a mask in indoor, public spaces in Routt County. Routt County has a transmission rate that would lead federal officials to classify it as an area of high transmission, especially because of the delta variant, which is now responsible for about 95% of new cases in Colorado. High transmission means there are at least 50 cases of the virus per 100,000 people over the previous seven days, which translates to roughly 13 cases per week in Routt County. The most recent week saw 25 new cases, according to the Routt County Public Health Department.
