Colo. (KRDO) Wednesday, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released guidelines for the 5 Star State Certification Program.
Businesses that become certified through this program are required to implement safety measures beyond what is already required by public health orders and guidelines. If businesses are able to meet these stricter standards, they will be able to expand operations.
Eligibility capacity levels are dependent on the county s current dial level:
Level Green: Counties already have an automatic capacity increase built into the Protect Our Neighbors framework.
Level Blue: Eligible if a county s incidence, percent positivity, and hospitalizations all meet the blue level. If approved, certified businesses can operate with an additional 50 people added to their cap.
