What does that mean for neighboring counties?
LA Junta Tribune
Otero, Bent and Crowley counties have officially moved to Level Blue (Caution) on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment s COVID-19 dial.
The recent transitions from Level Orange (High Risk) to Level Yellow (Concern) and now to Blue are promising signs that recent downward trends in novel coronavirus case rates are continuing.
The transition to Level Blue comes due to an updated state COVID-19 dial. This version of the dial was changed because state modeling projections indicate that it s unlikely for COVID-19 patients to overflow hospitals, according to the state in a public health and environment press release.
