May 2 (UPI) -- Colorado Gov. Jared Polis extended the state's indoor mask mandate on Sunday while relaxing restrictions for those who have been fully vaccinated.
The Democratic governor announced the extension in a press release, stating the mask mandate applies to those in groups of 10 or more in all public indoor spaces in counties with more than 35 infections per 100,000 people.
However, Polis amended the order permitting those in groups of 10 or more people to remove their masks indoors if 80% of them have proof of being fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Masks will still be required in schools, child care centers, indoor children's camps, government facilities, prisons and emergency medical and other healthcare settings, it said.
The mandate was extended as the state works to increase the number of people vaccinated.
According to the state's Department of Public Health and Environment, more than 1.9 million people in Colorado have been fully immunized against COVID-19 with 2.6 million people having received one shot.
"Vaccines not only protect you and your loved ones form getting this deadly virus but also allows Colorado to return back to normal," Polis said. "Reaching a high level of immunity is what will allow for a life without masks, but before that is possible, many more Coloradans need to get vaccinated."
The state has confirmed more than 500,000 infections including 6,304 deaths to the pandemic, according to state health officials.
However, Polis amended the order permitting those in groups of 10 or more people to remove their masks indoors if 80% of them have proof of being fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.
OK, I was an undergraduate math minor and this is making my head spin.
This new math amazes me, Sir Bedevere.
First of all, who's checking?
Second of all, who really gives a flying F***?
I pity the poor bastard who asks me for proof of vaccination.
BINGO—we need mask rebellion!
And all the idiots here who are totally fine and happy with this, creating second class citizens for a personal medical choice NOT to take an experimental, no long term data, treatment.
What i can’t find anywhere is how long the idiot extended it for. Out county has dropped all restrictions but the statewide mask mandate still applies. I guess we are not done with the window dressing. And the 80% proof of vaccination is ridiculous and unenforceable
I guess the Guv never heard of HIPPA!
HIPAA only applies to health care professionals The governor is still an idiot
I refuse to accept second class citizen status - bullying me will only make it worse.
Governor Carpetbagger Billionaire can stuff his extension in a wood chipper.
I’m in PA...Guv Wolf is worse.
Still no end date for indoor mask mandates or other restrictions.
Usually had depends on Andrew Cuomotose (NY) to do his thinking for him, but so far he hasn’t followed that lead.
Methinks he wants his legacy to be “Governor Safety” as the last one to lift restrictions.
What a pathetic putz!
Yeeowwwwza!
If I’m not mistaken, the J&J vax has a 67% efficacy estimate. So what if the gathering involves J&J folks only? Does that mean the gathering must be capped at 7 instead of 10?
It’s very simple...you MAY remove your mask indoors IF…
* you are in a county with less than 35 infections per 100,000 people.
* groups of 10 or more people
* 80% are fully vaccinated
* it’s the Tuesday after the first full moon of the month
* your shoe size if less than 10
* you were born on a day that does not end in “y”
* you put your right foot in an turn yourself about
* the wheels on the bus go round and round all through he town
* Joe Biden does something pro-American
just tell em if they can pretend joe biden is president, they can pretend you’re vaccinated
Went to the store today and discovered no mask mandate - the signs are down.

HIPAA not hippa first off.
Second off , it is not a magic shield of privacy. It only applies to certain entities and news flash most private sector businesses are not a covered entities they can ask whatever health questions they please as private property rights you can choose to say stuff it but they don’t have to do business with you. Healthcare is not a civil rights protected attribute they can and will deny services it’s the absolute right of a private business to do so.
Dr U K La Lee signed both my vaccine certificate and my birth certificate.
As long as you confine yourself to Kenya you’re good to go!
Of course you have a right to LIE.
