1. Breckenridge 11-year-old catches 30-pound lake trout<\/a><\/p>\n

Breckenridge local Tanner Wilson, 11, caught an estimated 30-pound lake trout, sometimes known as a mackinaw fish, while fishing with his father Tuesday, April 21, at a Summit County reservoir.<\/p>\n

It was a \u201conce-in-a-lifetime catch \u2026\u201d his father, Matthew Wilson, said. \u201cAny fisherman would love to catch a fish that size.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Tanner reeled in the fish by himself, his father helped him net the gigantic trout.<\/p>\n

After posing with his catch, Tanner returned the trout to the water as quickly as he could.<\/p>\n

The story of Tanner’s big catch went viral on social media, and was even mentioned by Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show.”<\/p>\n

3. Summit County under amended public health order starting on Monday<\/a><\/p>\n

Summit County went under an amended public health order on April 27, easing some of the restrictions put in place to combat COVID-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a Frequently Asked Questions sheet accompanying the order, the goal of the new safer at home phase is to maintain 60-65% of the social distancing efforts already being practiced by the state. One of the more restrictive parts of the amended order prohibits short term lodging, including short term rentals, from operating through May 31.<\/p>\n

Those wishing to return to work may be able to do so, with limited opportunity. Starting Monday, May 4, non-essential workplaces can have up to 50% of normal staffing. However, employers are strongly encouraged to continue telecommuting, and workers are expected to maintain a 6-foot distance while at work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. 8 Breckenridge City Market employees test positive for coronavirus<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week, eight Breckenridge City Market employees tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Public health officials were notified of a positive case at the store April 22. The Summit County Public Health surveillance team interviewed the person who tested positive, and their close contacts were referred to testing and required to self-quarantine.<\/p>\n

Health officials worked with the individuals and City Market management to contain the outbreak and ensure the employees received appropriate care. In response to the outbreak, City Market closed its Breckenridge location early to sanitize the store.<\/p>\n

As for those who shopped at the Breckenridge City Market in the past week, Summit County spokeswoman Julie Sutor said members of the public should not be concerned.<\/p>\n
