As Mesa County moves down its vaccine distribution list, lower COVID-19 case counts and stable and declining hospitalization numbers allowed the county to move back to yellow on the stateâs COVID dial.
The move, announced Wednesday in a press release from Mesa County Public Health, allows businesses in most industries in the county to move to 50% capacity.
The more than 600 businesses certified in Mesa Countyâs 5-Star Program will also be allowed to operate at a greater capacity, and move to level blue, once 70% of the stateâs 70 and older population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
