PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- There's no more dial system in Pueblo County, all local COVID-19 restrictions and requirements have been lifted for businesses and events as of Monday, according to Pueblo County Public Health.

This means all capacity restrictions have been lifted, and masks aren't required in many settings across Pueblo County.

The Pueblo County Board of Health made the decision to "align with most recent state executive and public health orders," according to a statement sent out on Monday.

However, Public Health Director Randy Evetts did note that businesses can implement their own restrictions.

"This pandemic is not over, COVID-19 is still circulating in Pueblo County and across the nation, and until more individuals are vaccinated, we should continue to take actions that prevent the spread of the disease," Evetts said in a statement.

While the goal is to get Pueblo County, and the state, to 70% of eligible people being vaccinated, as of Monday, only 48.4% of eligible people over the age of 16 have been vaccinated in Pueblo County.
