The state of Colorado issued a new COVID-19 Safer at Home Order on April 27^th which is in effect until May 26^th.  The Denver Metro counties (except Douglas County) are still under the older more strict health orders until May 8^th.

Under the new Safer at Home Order –

Coloradans are no longer ordered to stay home, but are strongly advised to stay at home. Critical businesses are open and limited non-critical businesses are operating with strict precautions in place. 

• Coloradans should stay home as much as possible, leaving only for a limited number of specific activities.
• When you go out, you must follow physical distancing requirements (6 feet of space between yourself and others) and wear a mask or face covering. 
• Vulnerable people at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19 should follow Stay-at-Home recommendations, which means only leaving home for medical care and essential activities.

Outdoor recreation activities are included as essential under the following rules:

• Recreate locally. Keep recreational activities within 10 miles of home to prevent disease spread.
• Individuals may participate in local and personal recreation in outside public spaces, as an authorized Necessary Activity, in groups no larger than 10 and practicing social distancing maintaining 6 feet between participants.
• It is best to socialize only with your household members, but physical activity promotes health and well-being. If you are engaging in outdoor activities with people outside your household, limit group size to 10 or fewer, and make sure there is at least 6 feet of physical distance between all people at all times.
• People should not gather in any outdoor space where they cannot maintain 6 feet of physician distance from one another. That includes pavilions, areas that offer shelter, or other outdoors areas that invite people to congregate in groups and do not allow for 6 feet of physical distance.
