Businesses with questions about opening can refer to our Frequently Asked Questions for Businesses. For more guidance from TCHD visit our Safer at Home Guidance for Businesses page.
Businesses should also be familiar with the industry specific guidance on the CDPHE Safer at Home webiste.

Arapahoe County and the City of Sheridan will NOT be transitioning to the Safer-at-Home Order until May 9th, 2020. The situation is changing frequently, we will update when new information is available. Please check back for new information.
Governor Update
Governor Polis issued a statewide "Stay-at-Home" order effective Thursday, March 26 at 6:00 a.m. This order has been extended to April 26, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. Effective April 27, Governor Polis has stated we will move into the next phase which will be "Safer-at-Home" encouraging people to stay in rather than ordered to stay in.
In essence, the State’s "Safer-at-Home" has strong recommendations for citizens and restrictions will be in place for businesses that will be encouraged to slowly open. The following is what the Governor is recommending for Colorado life after April 26:
