BROOMFIELD COUNTY GOVERNMENT: The City and County of Broomfield will move to Level Orange on Monday, Jan. 4

Announcement

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.
The City and County of Broomfield is still operating under the COVID 19 Dial Public Health Order. As such, if the data dictates, the State could impose more restrictive measures if unintended spikes occur from holiday gatherings, the newly discovered B.1.1.7 variant — which we know spreads more rapidly than the COVID-19 possibly leading to more infections/hospitalizations, and the approaching re-openings of businesses and schools.

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.
