Description:

The new Level Red restrictions ban indoor dining at restaurants, limit capacity at gyms and offices to 10% and prohibit personal gatherings of any size between separate households. They apply to at least 15 counties, from Boulder and metro Denver to various mountain communities. Today on Colorado Edition: we’ll learn about a new study that looks at the impact of COVID-19 on mental health. Plus, how ski areas and art venues have been impacted by new restrictions, and we’ll hear about two different Jefferson Counties. Ahead of reopening, companies spent months designing new safety protocols. Many also rolled out new reservation systems to help limit crowd sizes, meaning the start of the season will look different this year. Colorado is currently experiencing the highest number of COVID-19 hospitalizations since the pandemic began.

We spoke with Dr. Jane Jenab, a physician working in Colorado and New Mexico, who has been dealing with the pandemic first-hand. Last year, the University of Denver’s new Prison Arts Initiative debuted its first performances to audiences. The program is aimed at giving those incarcerated throughout the state of Colorado a place to find creative expression and healing. Now DUPAI is preparing for its second event, “A/Live Inside,” in a much different format and for a much different time. The vaccine developed by the pharmaceutical company Moderna may be easier to distribute in the rural West, according to regional public health experts.

In 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey and several Western states formed the Corridor Mapping Team, a collaboration among state and federal wildlife biologists to map ungulate migrations. Last week, the team published its first volume of maps, which document more than 40 big-game migration routes in Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. A real-time COVID-19 risk assessment tool developed by a group of university researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Stanford University provides county-by-county data to help people assess the risk of going to an event during the pandemic.
