Level Red COVID-19 Restrictions for 15 Colorado Counties
Restrictions to Begin Friday, November 20th
|
|
Announced on Tuesday, November 17th, the state is moving the city to a higher level of restrictions but stopped short of ordering another stay-at-home order, we will be moving to a Level Red classification on the COVID-19 dial beginning Friday, November 20th.
On Tuesday, Gov. Jared Polis, Mayor Michael Hancock and other lawmakers announced the new rules, which apply to Denver and 14 other counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Douglas, Jefferson, La Plata, Logan, Mesa, Morgan, Routt, Summit and Washington. The new temporary restrictions will ban dining inside restaurants — takeout and delivery will still be available — and will limit capacity in gyms to 10 percent. Bars and restaurants will hold last call at 8 p.m. under the new level of restrictions, though a city spokesperson said Denver is still waiting for an official directive from the state.

DESCRIPTION: REALTORS® in Colorado (and staff and association affiliates) have a new option that has been made available by CAR, with a cost-sharing solution at its core. This is an increasingly popular alternative to traditional insurance that helps bring the cost of healthcare for enrollees down by 30-50% and provides a well-rounded solution to balancing your healthcare needs and personal finances. This solution does have some temporary limits regarding pre-existing conditions, so it will be important to understand these when considering your options.
