State moves RBC to Yellow instead of Red

RBC | As of press time Tuesday (early deadline), all indications were that the Colorado Department of Public Health would be moving to Level Red: Severe Risk, according to communications between RBC Public Health and the state last Friday.

Late Tuesday RBC Public Health received word from CDPHE: “CDPHE is moving Rio Blanco County to COVID-19 Dial Level Yellow at this time. CDPHE will carefully monitor COVID-19 metrics and if case counts continue to rise, may need to move the county to another level. The change from Protect Our Neighbors to Level Yellow is effective Monday, Nov. 30, 2020, at 5 p.m. and the county should work to inform residents, businesses and other stakeholders to ensure the transition is completed by then.”
