Colorado will begin requiring that people get vaccinated to attend large indoor events in Denver areaPeople will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend large, indoor events in the Denver area starting Friday.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced a new public health order Sunday night putting the mandate in place. The order applies to Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Jefferson counties.
A large, indoor event is defined as one attended by 500 or more people. The order applies to concerts, bars, receptions, auctions and dance halls where people are unseated. People 12 and older are subject to the mandate.
The requirement doesn’t apply to houses of worship.
