Boulder County has shifted from medium to low community level for COVID-19 transmission, per guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). To be considered low, the county must report fewer than 200 COVID-19 cases per 100,00 people in the past seven days, less than 10 new COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 people in the past seven days and less than 10% of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients.  

The shift to low indicates that, although COVID-19 is still being transmitted in Boulder County, the risk of COVID infection has decreased. Prevention measures––such as getting vaccinated, getting tested and staying home when sick––are the best ways to keep yourself and your loved ones healthy.
