Governor Polis Takes Action to Address COVID-19

DENVER - Governor Jared Polis took action to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gov. Polis amended an Executive Order ordering individuals in Colorado to wear a face-covering due to the presence of COVID-19. The amendment makes an exception to the Executive Order for individuals who are officiating or participating in a life rite or religious service where the temporary removal of a face covering is necessary to complete or participate in the life rite or religious service.

The Governor continues to urge all Coloradans to wear masks in public, to do a better job avoiding socializing and mixing between households, and to practice good hygiene. Wearing a mask is an easy and highly effective way to significantly reduce the spread of COVID-19 to protect public health, our communities, and our small businesses.
