Gov. Jared Polis announced yesterday that the stay-at-home order
will remain in place through Sunday night, switching to a
“safer at home” plan on Monday when some businesses will
reopen.
That change will shift the responsibility from the government to
individuals to practice safe social distancing. Coloradans still
need to wear masks, practice social distancing and work from home
if possible. “Safer at home” will
not be a grand reopening of the state, Polis said on Wednesday.
Instead, it will be gradual.
As of Wednesday, the latest coronavirus case count stood at
508 confirmed deaths with 10,878 positive COVID-19 cases and
859 people currently hospitalized. Residents of nursing homes and
other assisted living facilities now account for
64% of Colorado’s coronavirus-related deaths.
