Unseated events may operate at 50% capacity or 50 people per room, whichever is less and excluding staff, when not using the social distancing space calculator, or up to 100 people with the calculator. Venues larger than 7,200 square feet may use the calculator to expand to no more than 150 people per room. Seated events may operate at 50% capacity or 150 people per room, whichever is less and excluding staff, using 6’ social distancing between non-household contacts, instead of the calculator.
Outdoor Events:
Unseated may operate at 50% capacity or 175 people, per room, using the social distancing space calculator (12’ distance). Seated events may operate at 50% or 175 people, per room, using 6’ social distancing, instead of the calculator.
Denver’s 5 Star Certification Program:
The program allows certified businesses that implement safety measures beyond what is already required by public health orders to expand operational capacity. Business sectors eligible are: General Business, Personal Services, Indoor Events (venues for meetings, receptions, concerts, trade shows and other), Restaurants and Gyms. Currently, approved 5 Star certified businesses are allowed to operate at Level Yellow. Once 70% of Coloradans ages 70+ are vaccinated, approved 5 Star certified businesses will be allowed to operate at Level Blue. Learn more about Denver’s 5 Star Program here.
Face coverings are required in the State of Colorado for those age 11 and older in public, indoor settings. This statewide order is in effect through March 6, 2021. Face coverings are required in Denver for those ages 3 and older in most indoor and outdoor settings.
