Gov. Jared Polis warned that counties would have to take a stricter approach to public health as coronavirus cases rise across the Front Range, mountains and western Colorado.
Polis has delegated some of the decision-making power about the pandemic to Colorado’s 64 counties, granting more than 40 variances that allow them to loosen restrictions on worship, restaurants and more. But the state has warned that 15 counties’ variances will be canceled if cases continue to rise.
