Governor Jared Polis has extended the statewide mask mandate for another 30 days, with modifications that account for where Colorado is in the pandemic.
Polis said over the weekend, “Here in Colorado we are making incredible progress with getting vaccines into arms and protecting our most vulnerable, but until everyone can get the vaccine and our Covid cases are reduced, taking precautions to prevent a surge of the disease is the smart thing to do and the right thing to do and helps keep everything open.”
The updated executive order continues to require mask wearing in all counties in schools, child-care centers, state government facilities, congregate care facilities, jails, health care settings and personal services.
In counties with one-week incidence rates in excess of 35 per 100,000, Level Blue and above, masks must also be worn in all public indoor settings.
Some 31 counties are currently in Level Green.
Colorado is in Phase 2 of its Covid-19 vaccination distribution which is the general public ages 16 and older.

The general public should see additional vaccination clinics from numerous providers to meet demand.
In the meantime, public health officials are reminding you to continue to protect each other by wearing a mask, physical distance, and stay home with symptomatic.
