On Wednesday at 8:40 p.m., Gov. Jared Polis posted a major health policy change on Facebook, announcing that counties at the red level of the state public health department’s dial will move to orange on Monday. It was the second announcement of the day to take those most affected by surprise; at a news conference earlier in the day, he announced a change in the state’s priority list for vaccinations. Health officials expressed frustration the next day that they’d been left in the dark on two major unilateral changes in health policy in one day, having to find out about them from social media instead of hashing them out with the governor ahead of time.
