Colorado Cities With Mandatory Mask Orders: Fort Collins Included
If you live in one of these Colorado cities you must wear a mask while in all businesses and public buildings or face potential charges.
Here's the cities that require a mask, according to Denver Post:
Fort Collins:
Effective Monday, May 4, masks must be worn by anyone over two years of age while inside public buildings. However, you don't have to wear a mask while at the bank or a pawn shop, which I find really strange.
This isn't exclusive to Fort Collins, all of Larimer County must abide by this order.
Boulder:
As of April 29, masks are required while inside businesses and anywhere services are provided, which includes outdoor spaces.
The city could shut down stores that do not enforce these regulations.
Denver:
If you are walking on a sidewalk, at a park or on a trail, you are not required to wear a mask.
Beginning May 6, however, if you enter a business, such as a grocery store, you will not be served without a mask on and could face a fine of $999.
In Denver, masks are required at bus stops, inside businesses and while waiting in line outside of a business.
Aspen:
You could face a $50 fine or up to a year in jail for violating the mask-wearing order in Aspen. Anyone over the age of two must wear a mask, not only inside businesses but in outdoor spaces as well.
Glenwood Springs:
As of April 6, anyone over the age of two must wear a mask while in public places. A mask must be worn outdoors where 6-foot distancing can't be achieved.
It could cost you $1,000 or up to a year in jail if you do not abide by this order.
List of Counties Requiring Masks: All of Larimer County must wear a mask as stated above.
