Level Red COVID-19 Restrictions Issued for 15 Colorado Counties
Announced on Tuesday, November 17th, the state is moving the city to a higher level of restrictions but stopped short of ordering another stay-at-home order, we will be moving to a Level Red classification on the COVID-19 dial beginning Friday, November 20th.
On Tuesday, Gov. Jared Polis, Mayor Michael Hancock and other lawmakers announced the new rules, which apply to Denver and 14 other counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Douglas, Jefferson, La Plata, Logan, Mesa, Morgan, Routt, Summit and Washington. The new temporary restrictions will ban dining inside restaurants — takeout and delivery will still be available — and will limit capacity in gyms to 10 percent. Bars and restaurants will hold last call at 8 p.m. under the new level of restrictions, though a city spokesperson said Denver is still waiting for an official directive from the state.
