Another unhealthy air quality day is in the forecast.
If you’ve been spending a lot of time outside lately, today and tomorrow are good days to slow down and give your lungs a break. Move workouts or outdoor activities indoors when possible and keep an eye out for symptoms like coughing, trouble breathing or headaches.
Air quality can change throughout the day, so continue checking local alerts before heading outside. https://www.jeffco.us/2331/Air-Quality

Se pronostica otro día con mala calidad del aire.
Si ha pasado mucho tiempo al aire libre en los últimos días, hoy y mañana son buenos momentos para reducir la actividad y darle un descanso a su cuerpo. Siempre que sea posible, realice ejercicio y otras actividades en espacios cerrados.
Preste atención a síntomas como tos, dificultad para respirar o dolor de cabeza. La calidad del aire puede cambiar durante el día, por lo que se recomienda consultar las alertas locales antes de salir. https://www.jeffco.us/2331/Air-Quality

We have received reports that several people may have picked up or touched an injured bat Sunday, June 14, 2026, around 1:30 p.m. near the Evergreen Lake Trailhead. The bat was later gone and could not be tested for rabies.

Because the bat cannot be tested, anyone who touched the bat may have been exposed to rabies. If you or someone you know touched the bat, call or visit your healthcare provider or an urgent care as soon as possible.

If you see an animal that looks injured or sick, contact your local animal control agency for help.

Hemos recibido reportes de que varias personas pudieron haber recogido o tocado un murciélago herido el domingo 14 de junio de 2026, alrededor de la 1:30 p.m., cerca del acceso al sendero Evergreen Lake Trailhead. Más tarde, el murciélago ya no se encontró y no pudo ser analizado para detectar rabia.

Debido a que no fue posible analizarlo, cualquier persona que haya tenido contacto con el murciélago podría haber estado expuesta a la rabia. Si usted o alguien que conoce tocó el murciélago, llame o acuda a su proveedor de atención médica o a un centro de atención lo antes posible.

Si ve un animal que parece herido o enfermo, comuníquese con su agencia local de control de animales para solicitar ayuda.

Air quality will be unhealthy for some groups tomorrow. Pollution in the air can affect everyone, especially children, older adults and people with asthma or other lung conditions.
Spend less time outside tomorrow, especially for hard exercise or long outdoor activities. If you need to be outside, take more breaks and pay attention to how you’re feeling.
Keep windows closed if possible and check on anyone who may be more sensitive to poor air quality.
___
Mañana, la calidad del aire podría afectar la salud de algunas personas. Los niños, los adultos mayores y quienes padecen asma u otras enfermedades respiratorias son los grupos más vulnerables.
Se recomienda limitar el tiempo al aire libre, especialmente si planea realizar actividad física intensa o permanecer afuera por períodos prolongados. Si necesita salir, tome descansos frecuentes y esté atento a cualquier síntoma o malestar.
De ser posible, mantenga las ventanas cerradas y esté pendiente de familiares, vecinos o amigos que puedan ser más sensibles a la contaminación del aire.

Summer trips are more fun when health surprises do not come along for the ride.

Before your family heads out, take a few minutes to plan for health the same way you plan flights, snacks and sunscreen. A little prep now can help prevent bigger problems later. www.jeffco.us/2104/Immunizations

Los viajes de verano son más agradables cuando no hay sorpresas de salud durante el camino.
Antes de que su familia salga de viaje, tómese unos minutos para planear la salud igual que planifica los vuelos, los snacks y el protector solar. Un poco de preparación ahora puede ayudar a evitar problemas más grandes después.

Some summer heroes wear capes. Others put the cold food back where the ice lives. ❄️

Before your next cookout, picnic or backyard snack situation, remember the basics: clean hands and surfaces, separate raw foods from ready-to-eat foods, cook foods to a safe temperature and chill leftovers before they get suspicious. www.jeffco.us/2408/Food-Safety

Mice and rats can spread germs, even if you never touch them.😬
The best way to lower your risk is to keep them out of the places where you live, work, park and store things.

A few small fixes now can help prevent a bigger problem later. Learn more: www.jeffco.us/hantavirus
-----------

Los ratones y las ratas pueden transmitir gérmenes, aunque no los toque.😬
La mejor manera de reducir el riesgo es evitar que entren en los lugares donde vive, trabaja, estaciona su vehículo o guarda cosas.

Hacer pequeños cambios ahora puede ayudar a evitar problemas más grandes después. Más información: www.jeffco.us/hantavirus
