Governor Jared Polis lifted the state’s health emergency declaration yesterday nearly 16-months after it was issued.
In rescinding the declaration and most of his pandemic executive orders, he praised Coloradans for taking precautions during a challenging time in which at least 7,000 people in the state have died from Covid.
Polis also signed a Recovery Executive Order yesterday, shifting the state from a pandemic emergency health response to one focused on the economy, federal reimbursements, and vaccines.
