Local Mandates and Additional Resources

Beginning May 9, Denver began following the State of Colorado’s Safer at Home strategy, which balances public health safety measures while allowing for opening of the economy. Until further notice, Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock and the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment are requiring people in certain public settings to wear a face covering.  Gatherings in both public and private spaces of more than 10 people are prohibited in Denver and in many jurisdictions across Colorado while the Safer at Home strategy is in effect.
