Polis orders Colorado bars, nightclubs to close again after 'slight uptick' in coronavirus cases

 

Because BARS ETC ARE OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM! Thousands gather in Denver to protest Elijah McClain’s death

 

Colorado bars and nightclubs will again be closed for in-person services statewide due to a"slight uptick"in coronavirus cases in the state, Gov. Jared Polis announced Tuesday.

 

Polis said the public health order will go into effect in the next 48 hours and expire in 30 days. This decision comes about two weeks after bars and nightclubs reopened for limited in-person services statewide.

 

The new guidelines for bars will prohibit in-person services but allow bars to serve take-out alcohol. Bars that have also changed their business model in response to state guidelines and are now serving food can remain open as a restaurant as long as they keep patrons 6 feet apart, seated with their own groups, and do not allow groups to mingle.

 

County variances approved by the state that allow bars to be open will remain in place, Polis said. Larimer County did not get approved for bars to reopen in their variance request, so the county will continue to follow state guidelines.

 

Polis said this decision was made based on science and data collected and analyzed by the state and fromconversations he has recently had with the governors in Texas and Arizona,where recent spikes in cases have forced significant closures.

 

Bars and nightclubs were named by those governors as a significant source of the spike in cases as well as large parties and gatherings, Polis said.
