That’s what Mayor Jonathan Godes said during a Garfield County commissioners meeting Monday.
However, there remains confusion for restaurants and other business sectors after the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) last week imposed tighter restrictions, including suspending indoor dining, while the commissioners have said they can continue to operate at 50% indoor capacity, along with takeout services and open-air dining.
County commissioners have scheduled a special meeting for 9 a.m. Wednesday to formally adopt a resolution put forth last week seeking to classify indoor dining, gyms and fitness centers as “critical businesses” exempt from the level red restrictions.
