Jared Polis\u2019 announcement that the state will be transitioning from the stay-at-home order to the \u201csafer at home\u201d phase of social distancing, which aims at easing restrictions without completely lifting them. Under the new phase, Coloradans would be encouraged to stay home as much as possible, but it is no longer a requirement.<\/p>\n<p>The recommendations keep many social distancing practices in place, while allowing for many workplaces to operate. People are encouraged to use caution when they leave their homes and continue to maintain social distancing measures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Summit County Commissioner Elisabeth Lawrence said the recommendations were created under the guidance of Public Health Director Amy Wineland and the governor\u2019s office guidelines.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<div class=\"row sd-donation sd-donation-mobile p-0\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/sdn-banner-paypal.jpg)\" class=\"col-xl-8 p-3 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/donate\/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=donation&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=mid-article\">Donate<\/a><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Lawrence believes the next phase can work only if everyone is on board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis only works if personal responsibility is involved,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone is expected to do their part in this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If approved by the Summit County Board of Health at its 3 p.m. meeting Wednesday, these recommendations will go into place Monday, April 27:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People older than 65, sick people and people with underlying health conditions must stay home as much as possible.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited, and people must maintain a 6-foot distance when with others outside of their immediate household.<\/li>\n<li>Nonessential retail businesses will remain closed but can continue to take orders online or over the phone and provide products through the mail.<\/li>\n<li>Real estate agents can conduct showings in person, but open houses are prohibited.<\/li>\n<li>Child care services will be open with strict precautions to prevent transmission of the virus.<\/li>\n<li>Elective medical and dental procedures are allowed with strict precautions.<\/li>\n<li>Restaurants and bars can continue to offer takeout and delivery.

Tuesday was the first day of Vail Health\u2019s testing clinic at Howard Head Sports Medicine in Silverthorne, a partnership between the county and the hospital system that will dramatically increase testing.
