• Vaccine is here! Prowers Medical Center and PCPHE are administering vaccine according to CDPHE and CDC prioritization. It will be a few months before it will be available to the general public. See covid19.colorado.gov/vaccine for more information.

• If you think you may have COVID-19 and are interested in testing, you can now call public health directly at 336-8721 to schedule. We are offering testing 5 days per week. Other testing partnerships such as the mobile unit that has been in town some Sundays, are NOT PCPHE so call the numbers they provide if you have questions. If you are having severe symptoms such as significant trouble breathing, etc. call 911.

• There continues to be a Mask Mandate for those over the age of 10 in all indoor spaces other than home.

• Stay home if not feeling well, cover coughs and sneezes, wash hands frequently or use 60+% alcohol-based hand sanitizer, wear a mask/face covering to contain any respiratory droplets and stay at least 6 feet from others. Minimize gatherings.

• If you have been told to isolate or quarantine, please stay home! The laws and guidance are here:
