Aurora remains under state's Safer-at-Home guidelines
Mayor Mike Coffman on Safer-at-Home
The state of Colorado announced a new Protect-Our-Neighbors framework June 30 that allows communities that meet certain criteria to have less stringent restrictions than under Stay At Home and Safer At Home. Counties and regions interested in qualifying for Protect Our Neighbors must submit a mitigation and containment plan to the state for review and approval. At this time, Aurora remains under the Safer-At-Home guidelines unless the counties where Aurora resides pursues and is granted this designation.
At this time, critical businesses remain open, and non-critical businesses are open with restrictions. Businesses must follow best practices for
reopening. Visit the state's website or Tri-County Health Department's website for details. Tri-County Health Department has developed tools for businesses, including a checklist, to use while planning for reopening. And the state has this guide with risks and benefits of everyday activities.
