STEAMBOAT SPRINGS The Routt County Board of Health will wait to sign off on the 5-Star certification program’s application to state health officials until the county has had two sustained weeks within the metrics for level orange on the state’s dial framework.
In order to receive state approval, the application needs to have a letter of support from the local public health authority as well as other community members. The letter from the board is the last piece of the application.
While businesses can currently apply to start the certification process, the county is not eligible for the benefits of the program until the two-week case totals drop below 89. With cases increasing locally, now up to 156 cases in the last two weeks, it will likely be weeks until the county qualifies for the program.
