State of Colorado Executive Order Update:

Gunnison County appreciates the Governor’s recognition in his Executive Order that stricter local government orders already in place control over his Order.  After reviewing the Executive Order, Gunnison County concludes that its Third Amended Public Health Order is consistent with, if not stricter than, the Governor’s Executive Order.  Accordingly, under both the terms of Gunnison County’s Order and the Governor’s Executive Order, the Gunnison County Third Amended Public Health Order controls, and we will continue to operate under the terms of the County’s Order.  To understand what restrictions apply to persons within Gunnison County, please refer to the Third Amended Public Health Order and the information the County has provided this website, or please contact the call center at (970) 641-7660.

If you are symptomatic, but otherwise ok, please self-isolate and self-report using the forms below. If you are symptomatic and worsening, please call the call center at (970) 641-7660. We ask that you not show up to the screening site until you call first. If it is an emergency, please call 911.
