Businesses play a key role in reinforcing precautions among our employees and customers. The Five Commitments of Containment should be implemented into your organization’s policies to protect your workforce and your bottom line.

Colorado and Eagle County Public Health orders apply to our businesses. To help business owners and employers navigate the orders, numerous sector-specific guidance documents have been created for your use.

• An Eagle County Business Toolkit has been developed to help our local businesses with links to locally specific guidance for a select number of business sectors, as well as communications and marketing tools.

• Eagle County Public Health & Environment has implemented an application process for all public and private events to ensure their compliance with precautions as required by the state’s event guidance. Per the public health order, an ‘Event’ means any gathering that exceeds 10 people and/or two households when not otherwise regulated as a specific sector or activity.

• For sectors not included in the Eagle County guidance documents, the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment has created guidance that is still applicable to local businesses.

• In the event you cannot find what you are looking for, you can submit an email question to CovidQuestions@eaglecounty.us.

The Vail Valley Partnership and Basalt Chamber of Commerce have also developed comprehensive resources for their membership and the community.
