In an effort to keep Colorado’s economy afloat before requiring a complete shut down, health officials have added another zone to the dial of COVID19 severity. Previously the “red” zone was the most severe, but a new “purple” zone has been added thereby reducing the restrictions required by the red zone. Some of the key differences are that under the adjusted red zone requirements restaurants may remain open with outdoor seating and reduced capacity. Bars are also able to remain open with last call at 8 pm versus a mandate for total closure under the purple zone.

According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, there have been over 220 new COVID19 outbreaks reported in the state just since last week. The struggle between keeping the economy going and preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 is one the nation has struggled with since the beginning of this crisis. The idea of having a response that can be dialed up or down as needed is a good one. Restaurants and businesses don’t need to remain closed forever, and in areas where spread is well controlled restrictions can be loosened. But the last minute addition of a purple zone makes one wonder whether it was a good call. If these dials are well designed, then last minute adjustments should not be made if we’re to protect the lives of people who will die from large scale outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2. On the other hand, if the dial design was not calibrated to the appropriate cost-benefit analysis, then an adjustment may be warranted. It’s unclear why the purple zone was added, but hopefully the health department made the choice to do so with great caution.
