Colorado is just days away from making the switch from stay-at-home to “safer at home.” The gradual reopening will be a balancing act for the state as we try to avoid a resurgence in new coronavirus cases.
This Sunday, April 26, the stay-at-home order will be lifted and some businesses will begin to reopen, elective surgeries will resume while restaurants, bars and schools will remain closed longer.
On Tuesday, the latest coronavirus case count stood at 486 confirmed deaths with over 10,000 positive COVID-19 cases and over 850 people currently hospitalized.
Remember, all Coloradans have been asked to wear non-medical masks when outside their homes to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Want to know how to make one? There’s plenty of ideas floating around in our coronavirus-focused Facebook group.
