Happening Now: @GovofCO giving more details on the transition to #SaferAtHome. You can watch live on @KDVR's Facebook page. #COVID19colorado

Polis says they've hit the goals Colorado set going into #StayAtHome:
✅Slowed the spread of the virus
✅Bought time to build healthcare capacity
✅Bought time to grow testing capacity & supplies

.@GovofCO says he will go into more detail about what the state has done to obtain testing during a press conference on Wednesday. #COVID19colorado

"What's more important than the date when #StayAtHome ends, is people's behavior into May, June and July." - @GovofCO. @KDVR #COVID19colorado

Here's a look at @GovofCO's talking points on transition to #SaferAtHome. He hopes this will help with economic, social, mental and physical struggles of strict restrictions for months.

"This isn't a mission accomplished moment. It means we've avoided a catastrophe." -@GovofCO thanks Coloradans for #StayingAtHome, so we have the ability to start opening up.

"We're going to be watching the data every single day, and if the numbers start to climb at an unsustainable rate, we'll have to move backwards and not forwards." -@GovofCO. #COVID19colorado

Here's a clear timeline for this week's roll out. Note at the bottom: these guidelines don't matter if your local county has extended #StayAtHome. Today, only curbside retail and real estate should begin. @KDVR

Polis says they're working on guidelines for restaurants to re-open, but says they "don't have a date for that yet." @KDVR #FOX31 #COVID19colorado

.@GovofCO says each county has 3 choices: match the state, more restrictions, or less. Conditions for more flexibility include: low number of new cases, cases declining for past 14 days, and early warning systems. Need approval from local health dept., hospitals + county govt.

On campgrounds re-opening in Colorado campgrounds, Polis says there's two criteria:
1) Many communities are not ready for tourists coming in
2) Protocols around cleaning campgrounds are tricky
