Local Public Health Orders In Effect
Broomfield is currently under two local Public Health Orders:
  1. Effective April 16, Broomfield issued a Public Health Order enacting a simplified version of “the Dial” to continue to slow the spread of COVID-19 while vaccination efforts are ongoing. View details.
  2. Effective April 8 through May 7, 2021, Broomfield issued a Public Health Order requiring the use of face coverings in indoor public spaces. 
 
Do your part by continuing to follow the 4W’s (washing your hands, watching your distance, waiting on gatherings and wearing a mask). If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, get tested, and get your COVID-19 Vaccine as soon as possible to protect yourself and others. 
Getting Tested for COVID-19
Not feeling your best? Get a test! While waiting on widespread vaccination, following public health guidance, including getting tested, when you have been exposed or are positive with COVID-19 are important tools to stop the spread of COVID-19. 
  • There are 80+ FREE testing sites in Colorado. View local sites at Broomfield.org/COVIDTesting.
  • Many residents who qualify through their employer may be able to get at home testing kits through the Binax At-Home rapid COVID-19 testing program, which is a partnership between the Colorado Department of Health and Environment, Amazon, and eMed. View details.
