The FBI noted that a hate crime is a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by the individual’s bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnicity/national origin, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity.”

On Wednesday, April 28, Park County reported 22 new cases of COVID-19, one of the largest single day increases recently.
Through contact tracing the public health department was able to discover the majority of those cases were due to individuals who arrived from out of state and had tested positive.
Park County Public Health Officer Dr. Aaron Billin said all those individuals are currently quarantining, and the new cases have slowed. But we anticipate more speed bumps in the road to recovery that will be similar to this, said Billin. So we just have to be very vigilant for the long run and adjust our public health policy as we go along.
