As the delta variant makes its way through communities across the nation and state of Colorado, officials are urgently encouraging individuals to get vaccinated and that everyone, including vaccinated individuals, should now be wearing a mask in public indoor spaces. Among those spreading the new message is Summit County Public Health Director Amy Wineland.
During a Summit County Board of Health meeting on Friday, July 30, Wineland gave an update about the risk of the virus in the community. In general, Wineland warned that the delta variant is likely the main strain present both in the community and the state, and that despite the county’s 78% vaccination rate, the variant is causing an increase in cases, including breakthrough cases.

The Plague Has Returned to Colorado
No, we re not time-traveling back to the middle ages, but what has been known for centuries as the plague has made a return to Colorado in 2021.
The plague is caused primarily by fleas, which typically attach themselves to animals with fur, including household pets such as cats and primarily dogs.
So far, the plague has been found in such Colorado counties as La Plata, San Miguel, Boulder, El Paso, Huerfano, and Adams.
Unfortunately, a 10-year-old in La Plata county caught the plague and sadly passed away because of symptoms related to it. Lab results have concluded that the child contracted the deadly disease from fleas, according to the Colorado Department of Health.
