Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Wednesday
ordered the majority of Colorado’s residents to stay home in
the state government’s most forceful attempt yet to counter the
spread of the novel coronavirus. The order came into effect at 6
a.m. Thursday and expires April 11.
People will still be allowed to attend to essential tasks: going
to the grocery store, filling prescriptions, doing laundry and
picking up take-out food. Taking walks and hikes are still fine, as
long as you stay 6 feet from the nearest person. Here is
an FAQ on the latest orders.
Colorado health officials
announced on Wednesday eight more people have died, bringing
the state’s total to 19. There are 174 new positive cases, which
now totals 1,086.
