June 11, 2020 – Eagle County has submitted avariance request<\/a> to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to allow the county to transition to the next phase of public health orders in response to COVID-19. In alignment with the county\u2019s Transition Trail Map<\/a>, the transition to the \u201cBlack Diamond\u201d Phase would loosen some restrictions that have been in place since May 25.<\/p>\n

Because the proposed revisions are less strict than the state\u2019s \u201cSafer at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors\u201d order, the variance must be approved before new orders can be adopted. The state could approve, request changes, or deny the request.<\/p>\n

A summary of the variance request is as follows:<\/p>\n

The Black Diamond Phase effective date is planned for June 22. This date is four weeks after the implementation of the Blue Square Phase, and current disease surveillance<\/a> is showing the county will be prepared to take this next step. Moving to the Black Diamond Phase on this date is contingent on:
\n-State approval of Eagle County\u2019s variance request.
\n-Keeping local COVID-19 disease spread at manageable levels<\/a>.
\n-A demonstrated commitment by both businesses and the general public to limit the spread of disease and engage in responsible social distancing.<\/p>\n

Gathering Size: The proposed gathering size would be raised to 250 people.
\n-Distancing of 6 feet between non-household members will still be required.
\n-Parks and outdoor gathering spaces can have multiple groups of 250, provided those groups are physically separated by at least 20 feet.
\n-Indoor gathering spaces are limited to 250 people. Multiple groups of 250 are permitted if they are in discreet and segregated spaces.<\/p>\n

Indoor service at restaurants and bars: Capacity limits would be lifted.
\n-Distancing of 6 feet between non-household members will still be required.
\n-Restaurants will be required to check with their local liquor licensing authority on their ability to serve alcohol in outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n

Lodging: Capacity limits would be lifted.
\n-Distancing of 6 feet between non-household members will still be required.<\/p>\n

Pools: Capacity limits on pools that use chlorine or bromine would be lifted.
\n-Distancing of 6 feet between non-household members will still be required.<\/p>\n

Face Coverings: Guidance on face coverings<\/a> will remain consistent with the current Blue Square Phase, which strongly recommends the use of face coverings in indoor public spaces and requires their use for employees in certain professions where 6 feet of social distancing cannot be maintained.<\/p>\n

The Eagle County Board of Commissioners is continuing to urge residents to take a personal pledge to follow the \u201cFive Commitments of Containment\u201d:<\/p>\n

I will maintain 6 feet of social distance
\nI will wash my hands often
\nI will cover my face in public
\nI will stay home when I am sick
\nI will get tested immediately if I have symptoms<\/p>\n

Community members are reminded that personal responsibility also means people must make the best decisions for themselves. Officials caution that just because restrictions on certain businesses and activities have loosened, it does not mean those who are uncomfortable or are in high-risk categories for COVID-19 should participate.<\/p>\n

Additional information will be available once the county receives a response on its variance request. Information on the state\u2019s variance request process can be found on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment website. Regular updates on the county\u2019s response to COVID-19 are being shared at www.ECEmergency.org<\/a>. The county\u2019s forum for community discussions is at www.facebook.com\/OneValleyVoice<\/a>.
