As of today, Mt. Crested Butte has enacted a mask mandate across the base area of the ski area.

There have been 204 positives since November 1st, that is over 40% of our total positive cases throughout this pandemic.

Our numbers are at 483 positive, 4,718 negative, and 89 pending tests as of November, 19.

As of 5:00 PM on 11/12/2020, CDPHE moved Gunnison County to the Blue level on the State Dial. Gunnison County is no longer in Protect Our Neighbors status which means a tightening of restrictions compared to what we had in previous weeks.

Since November 1st, we have seen 70 positive cases. While 4 in 5 of those cases are affiliated with Western, we do have positives throughout the community across all age groups including at risk individuals. Our contact tracing efforts continue to squash a second generation of the virus. 75% of our recent positive results were already in quarantine when they tested positive.

In order to continue on our path to keep businesses open, the state is requiring that we put in place mitigation measures locally.

We have tripped one of our indicators for a move to the yellow level of Gunnison County’s Coronameter.

Overall, we have seen 272 positive tests with 3,392 negative tests. We have seen 9 positive tests in the last week.

Thanks to the great work of the community, we now are allowed by the State to up our occupancies among businesses to 55%.

We have now met the State’s Protect Our Neighbors metrics for 3 and a half weeks. If we can maintain until October 13th, we will be able to add 5% to occupancies in restaurants, retail, and others.
