Jeffco Issues Stay-At-Home Order

On my quick skim the order seems to be more or less what folks were expecting, meaning basically we are now required to stay at home but excluding some specific exceptions:

  • Buying food

  • Getting medical supplies or medical care

  • Caring for a family member or friend in another household

  • Exercise (but not in a group and not in more confined areas like park playgrounds or basketball courts)

  • Essential businesses are asked to maintain operations

  • All other businesses are asked to stop operating except for what the order defines as “Minimum Basic Operations”

You can check out the press coverage (e.g., Denver Post “More than 2 million more people across metro Denver will be under stay-at-home orders starting Thursday”) and read the order itself to get more details.
