While Gov. Jared Polis announced Thursday the end of Coloradoâs health emergency declaration, Chaffee County plans to continue its public health order.
In making his announcement, Polis signed a recovery executive order that focuses on building back a stronger Colorado, including prioritizing increasing vaccine rates and improving economic recovery efforts.
Polis said he thought it was time to take the action since 70.32 percent of adults in Colorado have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Chaffee County Public Health officials said in a press release that the announcement surprised them, and they intend to continue the local public health order at least through Aug. 31. However, the release noted that the order is reviewed and amended regularly.
