The city on Thursday provided details about how it’s working to ensure more equitable vaccine access as data shows wealthier and whiter neighborhoods in Denver have much higher vaccination rates among people 70 years old and older.
Mayor Michael Hancock and a cadre of cohorts revealed that the city is officially back in Level Orange on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment s dial dashboard. If that level can be maintained for seven days, restaurants, gyms and other businesses that meet the standards set by the state s 5-Star Certification Program will be able to operate under Level Yellow standards, which include increasing capacity from 25 percent to 50 percent, among other things.
Applications for the 5-Star program will officially open at 10 a.m. February 2, with a soft cap of 500 for the first round of participants. Eric Hiraga, executive director of the Denver Economic Development & Opportunity office, said that moving forward in stages is necessary because as many as 7,000 businesses in the city could qualify, and approval requires on-site visits and other time-consuming procedures. But he promised that officials will be carefully watching to make sure the process is fair to all indust
