Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19)
The covid-19 data dashboard has been Suspended.
Delta County’s COVID-19 positive cases continue to drastically decrease. Effective immediately, Delta County Health Department’s COVID-19 Data Dashboard has been suspended, and will no longer provide daily updates on positive cases, deaths, and vaccination data, unless and until it’s necessary to provide this information again on a daily basis. However, cases and deaths will still be tracked by CDPHE on their data dashboard.
Colorado is distributing free rapid COVID-19 over-the-counter (OTC) tests directly to residents' homes. The program uses rapid antigen tests that show results within 15 minutes. Test manufacturers may vary, and users are encouraged to thoroughly read the instructions included with each test kit. Delta County Health Department will offer curbside pick-up only for the free COVID-19 testing; call 970-874-2165 when you arrive outside the health department and someone will bring out your tests.
For more information on COVID-19 at home testing, see the Colorado COVID testing web page.

Public Health is the lead organization for community-based disease investigation and control. Through partnership with other health and medical organizations, support from elected and municipal officials and institutions, health officials can limit the spread of a disease, and reduce its impact on a community. What can you do? Stay home if you are ill, get tested, and most importantly get vaccinated! Visit our Immunizations page for more information.
COVID Testing:
Contact tracing following testing keeps schools open and businesses open by identifying cases earlier and decreasing the chances that someone will unknowingly spread the virus reduces transmission in our community. Learn more about the part testing plays in an overall COVID-19 prevention strategy. Also learn more about how and where to get tested.
Keeping Schools Open:
The basic belief that having children IN the classroom is far better for our community is what drives this partnership between the Delta County School District and the Delta County Health Department. Parents help by keeping their children home when they are sick (isolation), or when they’ve been in contact with a known COVID-19 case (quarantine). Learn more about how you can Keep our Schools Open.
Partnering with Business (Partnership for a COVID-Free Delta County):
Delta County Health Department encourages businesses in each of the jurisdictions to support keeping COVID-19 numbers down in Delta County, protect our most vulnerable populations, and contribute to a thriving economy even in times of the most stringent of COVID-19 restrictions. For more information, click on our Partnering with Business page. See the most recent letter for restaurants and liquor establishments from CDPHE.
Sharing Information:
Providing up-to-date and accurate health information to the community through all the ways people like to receive it is a basic public health priority: print media (like the Delta County Independent) and social media (like Facebook). Data drives what we do: visit the COVID Dashboard.
Supporting Healthcare:
A surge is what we call a demand for health care resources in excess of supply. Some of our shortcomings as a rural health care system are lack of staff, facilities, and supplies, and adequate leverage in the face of larger and better-financed systems. Working together to bulk-purchase, relying on our partnerships for testing, vaccination, data-tracking and staffing to meet the needs of Delta County residents, including activation of emergency support through our county and state emergency management organizations help us to meet the surge head-on.
Event Gatherings and other information is contained in the newest public health order (PHO).
