Tyler Zanella, the former Poudre School District paraprofessional who pleaded guilty to abusing students was sentenced to a total of 12.5 years behind bars during a multi-hour hearing Friday.
Larimer County reached a milestone of sorts this week with no new COVID-19 outbreaks reported at area businesses or long-term care facilities, the first time since the pandemic began in mid-March 2020.
Part of that may be attributable to the holiday weekend, higher vaccination rates and a June 1 change in the state s definition of an outbreak.
Previously, an outbreak was defined as “two or more people who are confirmed cases of COVID-19 in a workplace/facility, with onset within 14 days, or one confirmed and two or more probable cases of COVID-19 in a workplace/facility, with onset within 14 days,” according to the state’s outbreak page.
