GOVERNMENT COVID-19 UPDATE we’re all in this together! SAFER AT HOME ORDER EXTENDED: COLORADO PREPARING TO MOVE TO PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORS PHASE While Colorado has lowered the spread of COVID-19 through the “Safer at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors” Order resulting in a steady decline in case counts, this is a testament that wearing masks; keeping distance from others; practicing proper hygiene; and protecting vulnerable populations is effective in reducing the spread. However, the virus still remains and the State along with cities and counties are encouraging people to use common sense and consider the level of risk when participating in certain activities. Activities such as camping, hiking, biking, outdoor exercise/activities, or shopping outdoors at a farmer’s market are fairly low risk activities. Dining out, playing on the playground, shopping indoors, or visiting a swimming pool carry a medium risk. Activities like airline travel, concerts, attending worship services in-person, personal services, bars, gyms, or large gatherings carry a higher risk. Since June 30, the “Safer at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors” guidelines have been amended. Provided below is a summary of the seventh amendment: • Private campgrounds may open for use. • Playgrounds and outdoor sports facilities, such as tennis courts, may be open for use for no more than 25 people at a time. • Outdoor swimming pools may open at 50% capacity, limited to no more than 50 people.

GOVERNMENT curbside and delivery service. • Libraries are no longer limited to curbside only services, though curbside services are encouraged. • Real estate open houses may occur in accordance with indoor event requirements. • Organized recreational youth or adult league sports may resume activities with no more than 25 players outdoors. • Gyms, recreation centers and indoor pools may open at 25% capacity, not to exceed 50 patrons, whichever is less. Here is a summary of the eighth version of the current “Safer at Home” order that is effective until <strong>July</strong> 30: • Professional sports may resume pre-season practices, training, and league play after receiving approval from CDPHE on a reopening plan that details disease prevention and mitigation strategies. • Bars that do not serve food from a licensed retail food establishment must close to in-person service. Bars that offer food from a licensed retail food establishment for on-premise consumption and follow the restaurant requirements — including seating all patrons at tables a minimum of 6 feet apart — may operate up to 50% of the posted occupancy limit or 50 patrons indoors, whichever is less. Additionally, bars may use the calculator for indoor events to allow for occupancy up to 100 patrons indoors. All bars may continue to operate to-go, For extensive information on “Safer at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors” phase, including sector-specific guidance, please visit covid19.colorado.gov/safer-at-home. PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORS PHASE “Protect Our Neighbors” is the next phase after the “Stay at Home and Safer at Home in the Vast, Great Outdoors” Orders. “Protect Our Neighbors” means that communities that meet certain criteria have less stringent restrictions than under “Stay at Home” and “Safer at Home” guidelines. Communities must qualify by meeting scientifically established thresholds that: • lower disease transmission levels; • treat patients and handle the surge in need for intensive hospital care; and, • conduct testing and effective case investigation, contact tracing, and outbreak response. Communities that can demonstrate strong public health and health care systems — paired with low virus levels — should take on more control over their own reopening plans. Strong local public health and health care systems are the key to reopening the economy. Different communities will be at different phases, based on local conditions and capabilities.
