Mandatory Mask Order

Executive Order D 2020 138 is a mandatory statewide mask order that went into effect at midnight on July 16, 2020, and will be in effect for 30 days. It may be extended.

Fast facts about the order

The order requires people in Colorado who are 11 years and older to wear a covering over their noses and mouths:

• When entering or moving within any public indoor space.
• While using or waiting to use public (buses, light-rail) or non-personal (taxis, car services, ride-shares) transportation services.

People who do not have to wear a mask include:

• People who are 10 years old and younger.
• People who cannot medically tolerate a face covering.
• Children ages 2 and under should NOT wear masks or cloth face coverings.

Research shows that people who have no symptoms can spread COVID-19. Wearing a non-medical face mask helps minimize the spread of the virus. Instructions for making homemade masks can be found at the Colorado Mask Project.

Safer at Home Order

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has issued a "Safer at-Home" order that outlines a new level in Colorado’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes a more sustainable way of living for Coloradans while slowing the spread of the virus and allowing more Coloradans to return to work.  

Coloradans should continue staying home as much as possible and vulnerable populations, including seniors, should continue staying home, only leaving when absolutely necessary.
