Broomfield County Government issued the following announcement on Dec. 31.
The City and County of Broomfield is eager to move to Level Orange on Monday, Jan. 4 as directed by the Governor, and due to your continued diligence to slow the spread of COVID-19. Stop the spread & stay out of red by continuing to follow the 4 Ws: wear a mask, wash your hands, watch your distance, wait on gatherings.
What changes in Level Orange?
- Increased access to the Paul Derda Recreation Center, Broomfield Community Center, Broomfield Library, and Broomfield Auditorium!
- Indoor restaurant seating and indoor events, up to to 25% capacity or 50 people per room, whichever is fewer. Last call will be 10 p.m., and bars that do not serve food will remain closed.
- Personal services and gyms/fitness centers open up to 25% capacity, or up to 25 people per room, whichever is fewer.
- Gatherings can be increased to 10 people or less, from no more than 2 households max.
- Retail able to operate at 50% capacity
- Office-based businesses up to 25% capacity
- Indoor and outdoor events can resume at 25% capacity, up to 50 people indoors and 75 people outdoors.
How this impacts the Back to Business Certification Program:
- Businesses are encouraged to continue applying for Back to Business Certification at Broomfield.org/BacktoBusiness to be eligible to move one level lower on the Dial than the county at each step.
- The first round of businesses will be able to operate under “Level Orange: High Risk,” until Broomfield reaches two weeks of level-orange metrics, which could be as soon as January 11, based on the data.
