Safety and health consideration:
The city spokesperson for Boulder said those who attended the party should quarantine for 10 days, monitor symptoms for up to 14 days and take advantage of free testing seven days after exposure at sites around the city. I think the cost of potential spread is very serious, Boulder County Public Health spokesperson Angela Simental said.
Simental said party-goers should quarantine and get a COVID test without fear of getting caught. I do want to emphasize that testing is not linked to any gathering so people can go and feel free to test and make sure that if they have a positive COVID test that they isolate, Simental said.

As the first chair of Reflections, the Boulder JCC’s annual gala fundraiser, 14 years ago, I had no idea that I was embarking on a lifelong relationship for myself and my family with a Boulder institution. We have been woven into all parts of the J – from our home on Kalmia to the beautiful campus on Cherryvale. The truth of it is – for me, it was never about a building – but about what happens inside its walls. Through my involvement with the J, I found my people. A place where my family and I belong, a place of connection and caring. I continue to stay involved with both my time and money because I believe in investing in the J, the institution, the staff, and everyone connected with it. It makes me proud to be a part of the Boulder JCC and to know the staff and community. It is rare to find a school, gathering place, farm, rental facility, host of Zoom programming – that truly lives its values and is transparent about those values.
