Vaccines
We have added a field at the top of our data dashboard that shows how many individuals we have vaccinated with a first and second dose in Gunnison County. This number will be updated on a weekly basis on Tuesdays. We continue to vaccinate those from group 1a and the first portion of 1b. This includes healthcare system, first responders, critical infrastructure, covid response, and those at risk because of their age.
Please fill out our vaccine interest form that is live on vaccine information page on our website. We are building this database so that we can efficiently and equitably administer the limited vaccine doses that we are receiving.
Community Testing
We are making a tentative schedule for regular community testing.
The plan is to have one testing event per week that alternates between north and south valley.
While this schedule is not yet finalized, we are anticipating a schedule similar to this.
- Saturday, February 13th at the Crested Butte Community School, from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm.
- Friday, February 19th at the Gunnison County Fairgrounds from 7:00 am – 3:00 pm.
Following this, the schedule will repeat itself on a weekly basis with testing in Crested Butte on a Saturday and then testing in Gunnison on the following Friday.
We also intend to do an extended community testing event following spring break.
- Friday, March 26th at the Gunnison County Fairgrounds, 7:00 am – 5:00 pm.
- Saturday, March 27th at the Crested Butte Community School, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm.
Update on Positives
All of this data lives on our data dashboard here.
Our numbers are at 1,052 positive, 10,226 negative, and 55 pending tests as of January 25th.
We continue to meet two indicators for a move to yellow. Our positive cases and our positivity continue to be well above our coronameter thresholds. While positive cases are at a concerning high level in our community, our ability to give care is still in a good place so we remain in our local blue level restrictions.

Travel Quarantine Recommendation
We continue to recommend that anyone who travels out of the county for more than 24 hours to quarantine for 7 days upon their return to Gunnison County. We also recommend that visitors who come into the county isolate for 7 days prior to their arrival.
State Exposure Notification App
The state’s new exposure notification app is now live. Info on how to set it up can be found here. Even a small uptake of the app in our community can positively impact our outcomes. While alone it won’t be a game changer, combined with our other tools- social distancing, masks, hand hygiene- we can continue to reduce the spread.

The main testing site is located at Gunnison Valley Health and is open Monday through Friday. Testing requires an appointment ahead of time.
