CBS Denver 1 hr ago Syndicated Local – CBS Denver
LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – The Larimer County Department of Health & Environment announced its local public health order will expire at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday. Starting on Monday, the county will only follow public health orders set by the state.
On Thursday afternoon, Gov. Jared Polis’ office confirmed to CBS4 that the state will lift the face mask requirement for Coloradans who are vaccinated against COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday that fully vaccinated people do not need to wear a mask, indoors or outdoors, in most settings or stay 6 feet apart.
Jack Reed, 13, receives his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine by Dr. David Wahl on Thursday at Vail Health Hospital in Vail. The Pfizer vaccine was approved for children 12-15-years-old, with Thursday being the first day the kids were able to receive a shot.

For months now, Eagle County Emergency Management Director Birch Barron has asserted that nobody will be happier than he is when the county can finally lift its COVID-19 public health restrictions.
Barron plans to celebrate in less than a week. He won’t be the only person at the party.

Now I know the pain is real, the humor grossly misinterpreted.
First, though, I can’t help but question how such a beautiful building, both inside and out, can have such a confusing parking garage.
The zigzagging beast at the “New & Improved” Vail Health Hospital, which happened to grace the front cover of the Vail Daily that same day I visited, while large, meanders as if Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer designed the entire thing, the two refusing to agree on which was the best way to enter, exit and traverse everything in between.
Once inside the actual building, however, the parking debacle fades into a forgettable memory, as it’s like walking into a 4-Star hotel lobby (5 stars would be a bit of a stretch), replete with tasteful furnishings, modern art and enough signage to help confuse the most illiterate around us.
