Masks in the state of Colorado


As Colorado begins the slow process of beginning to open the state, precautions are in place so that the health and safety of everyone maintains the upmost priority. In April Gov. Polis announced for employees to wear masks during interactions with the public to minimize the virus’ spread.

Some cities and counties in Colorado have chosen to extend their stay-at-home order and/or for the public to wear face coverings when they leave their homes. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends people wear face coverings when outside to help slow the transmission from people who have the virus and may not know it. The CDC also has instructions on how to make a mask at home using simple items you may have including a shirt, bandana, or cotton fabric. Not all methods require a sewing machine or thread and needle, making the process simple and easy for anyone.

Orders for wearing face masks vary slightly between cities and counties and the public should check with their local government for the guidelines they should follow. In general, most people other than small children are advised to wear masks and maintain social distancing as much as possible. 
You can read some of the mask orders below:


Other cities and counties with mask guidelines include: Aspen, Boulder, Boulder county, Glenwood Springs, Lonetree, Routt county, Summit county, Superior and Wheat Ridge.
