CURRENT BENT COUNTY COVID-19 STATUS Released 4/27/21

Due to a current spike in cases, Bent County has moved to Orange Level per the one week cumulative incidence rate.  Unfortunately, this has resulted in the cancellation of most of the events for Santa Fe Trail Days.  As of today, contact tracing has traced the outbreak back to a single cohort.  Below is a synopsis of the current state requirements for your information.

 Masks continue to be required in the following settings/places (statewide requirement):

• Schools (including for extracurricular activities);

• Child care centers;

• Indoor children’s camps;

• Public-facing state government facilities;

• Emergency medical and other healthcare settings (including hospitals, ambulance service centers, urgent care centers, non-ambulatory surgical structures, clinics, doctors’ offices, and non-urgent care medical structures);

• Personal services (i.e. hair salons, nail salons, esthetician services, body art professionals, etc.);

• Limited health care settings as defined by Public Health Order (PHO) 20-36;

• Congregate care facilities (nursing facilities, assisted living residences, intermediate care facilities, and group homes); &

• Prisons and jails.

• PHO 20-38 rate-specific requirement:  “For counties with a one week disease incidence rate in excess of 35 per 100,000, face coverings are also required pursuant to Executive Order D 2020 138, as amended and extended, in a Public Indoor Space, as defined in Executive Order D 2020 138, as amended and extended, where 10 or more unvaccinated individuals or individuals of unknown vaccination status are present.”

o This currently applies to Bent County.  

I would strongly urge all those that have not been vaccinated to wear a mask when in any public places, including employees/staff of businesses.
