Mandatory mask order extended into October

Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed an executive order Saturday extending a requirement for people in the state to “wear a medical or non-medical face covering” due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

The order notes that wearing facing coverings can reduce the spread of COVID-19 by as much as 65 percent. Recent data is showing an increase in infections, though the daily number of cases has declined since early August.
