On Wednesday, December 29, 2020, Governor Polis announced that he is directing CDPHE to move all counties in the Red level on the Dial to the Orange level, effective on Monday, January 4th. He is making this move in response to a 13 day downward trend in cases statewide.  Boulder County will therefore be moved to the Orange level.  You can learn more about the capacity levels for all industries here - COVID-19 dial dashboard | Colorado COVID-19 Updates.

A number of changes will take place under the less strict restrictions. They include:

• Indoor dining will be permitted again. Capacity will be capped at 25% or 50 people, whichever is number is smaller.
• Personal gatherings of up to 10 people (from no more than two households) will be allowed.
• Last call for alcohol is moved from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., although bars will remain closed.
• Gyms can operate at 25% capacity or up to 25 people indoors. Currently, gym capacities are capped at 10% or 10 people per room.
