Santa Claus delivered a present a day early as 33 Douglas County businesses can now operate at 25% indoor capacity under the state's 5-Star Certification Program. Douglas County, one of the first counties to apply for the program, was informed Wednesday by the Colorado Department of Health and Environment that it had completed "10 days of stable and declining hospitalizations and may now authorize certified businesses to open," according to a news release from Douglas County. Beginning Wednesday evening, 18 restaurants, 14 gyms and fitness centers and one indoor event venue can operate at a higher capacity limit than the state's COVID-19 dial ordinarily allows.
