What You Need to Know About Boulder County’s Move to LEVEL RED on Friday, 11/20/20

by | Nov 18, 2020 | Boulder County, Health & Wellness, Public Health

Due to an increasing level of COVID infections and related hospitalizations, Boulder County will be moving to the State’s newly-defined LEVEL RED public health status at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 20, 2020.  While this is not the same as the “Stay at Home” restrictions we experienced earlier in 2020, the restrictions are a step up from where we’ve been in recent weeks.

The updated public health order can be found HERE.

LEVEL RED updated restrictions include:

  • Indoor dining is temporarily closed. Restaurants and coffee shops can still offer takeout and delivery, and they can offer outdoor dining with last call at 8:00 p.m., but only to customers in groups with members of their own household. Bars remain closed.
  • Gyms can operate at 10% capacity or allow up to 10 people per room with reservations. They can also operate outdoors in groups of up to 10 people.
  • Group Sports and Camps can operate virtual, or outdoors in groups less than 10.
  • In-person personal gatherings are not permitted.
  • All gatherings between households of any size in any location, public or private should not be taking place.
  • Offices can operate at 10% capacity, but remote work is strongly encouraged.
  • Non-Critical Manufacturing can operate at 25% or 50 people, whichever is fewer.
  • All at-risk populations are recommended to stay at home.
  • Limited Healthcare and Personal Services continue to operate at 25% or 25 individuals (whichever is fewer).
  • Critical and Non Critical Retail can operate at 50% capacity with increased curbside pickup and delivery.  Dedicated senior and at-risk hours encouraged.
  • Indoor Unseated and Seated Events / Entertainment are closed. 
  • Outdoor Unseated and Seated Events limited to 25% or 75 people attended only with members of your own household and 6-feet between groups.
  • Outdoor Guided Services and Entertainment can operate at 25% capacity or 10 people (whichever is fewer).
  • Places of Worship can operate as they did under the Level Orange levels.
