Arapahoe County to move to Level Clear on Sunday, May 16 

SM_COVID_Level_Blue_CP_2021-03

On May 16, the Tri-County Health Department (TCHD) will move Adams and Arapahoe counties to Level Clear on the Simplified Dial, entering the Phase 2 Observation Period of the Public Health Order Simplified COVID-19 Dial issued in April. Douglas County had previously opted out of TCHD’s Simplified Dial order. In addition, the TCHD face covering order will expire May 16, 2021, as previously scheduled and allow an additional 24 hours for our counties to fully understand the details of the State’s newly modified face-mask order.

Under Level Clear, Adams and Arapahoe counties will enter a 90-day Observation Period during which businesses, schools, restaurants and other facilities will be able to open at 100 percent capacity. There will be no further restrictions beyond the state’s mask-wearing requirements for indoor spaces and any state public health orders still in effect. Read the Full Press Release

Vaccination distribution and prioritization plans are made at the state level and passed through the local health authorities to carry out. For Arapahoe County, that health authority is the Tri-County Health Department. To get the latest vaccination updates, please visit www.tchd.org/COVIDvaccine.
