Gov. Polis extends mask mandate, level green counties can opt outCounties in level green on the state COVID dial are able to lift the mandate or alter it. There are 31 counties accounting for 238,286 Coloradans falling into that category. In counties at level blue, yellow, orange, red, and purple masks are still required in all public indoor settings when 10 or more unvaccinated individuals or individuals of unknown vaccination status are present.
The 33 other counties outside level green account for 5,525,690 Coloradans. Polis said 1 in 207 people are currently contagious with COVID-19. While about 27% of the state is either fully vaccinated or has antibodies from previous infection, we are not at herd immunity quite yet.
“In the meantime, we must continue practicing vigilance by wearing masks especially if you aren’t yet fully vaccinated, practicing social distancing when in public and in the company of people with unknown vaccine status. This modified mask order is a step towards the light at the end of the tunnel, and it acknowledges a transition away from most requirements for those counties in level green with very low transmission, 35 cases or less out of every 100,000, and the great achievement they have made towards ending the pandemic,” he said.
