COVID-19

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has issued an updated public health order which now requires hospitals across the state to report data to the state regarding the age and vaccination status of COVID-19 patients.

The Greeley-Evans School District 6 Board of Education voted unanimously last week to require masks all for Pre-K through 8th grade students, as well as staff in buildings for those students.

Due to the increasing threat of the new COVID-19 delta variant, as well as rising COVID case rates, Larimer County officials are now 'strongly recommending' that all county residents wear masks in public indoor settings - regardless of your vaccination status.

The Thompson School District has announced that they will not require students, staff, or faculty to wear masks upon returning to school this fall.

The Colorado State University (CSU) System will not require COVID-19 vaccines for the upcoming school year, but will allow its campuses - which includes the CSU campus in Fort Collins - to make their own decisions on vaccine requirements.

The Governor has put a stamp on officially ending this pandemic.

The one-week case rate across Larimer County has increased from 103.7 to 227.2 cases per 100,000 residents, more than doubling over the last three and a half weeks.

Larimer County is set to receive major COVID-19 relief funding from The American Rescue Plan Act.

Colorado restaurant employees will now be able to apply for free COVID-19 testing kits to be delivered to their homes.

Larimer County recorded a total of 18 deaths during the month of February, including the youngest death the county has accounted for during the pandemic.
