Gov. Jared Polis on Monday laid out more detailed guidelines for Colorado\u2019s reopening after the statewide coronavirus stay-at-home order expires April 26.<\/p>\n

Retailers will have the option to open May 1, Polis said, as long as they have social-distancing policies in place. Business offices can reopen the following Monday, May 4, he said, although he added telecommuting should be maximized as much as possible, particularly with older employees.<\/p>\n

Restaurants and bars will stay closed initially but might be allowed to open in mid-May, he said. Schools will not reopen immediately. Personal service providers, like hair salons, will be able to reopen with some precautions on April 27, such as hair stylists wearing masks. One-on-one real estate showings \u2014 though not open houses \u2014 and child care can restart then, too.<\/p>\n

The state will need to shift from staying-at-home to being \u201csafer at home,\u201d Polis said, warning that Colorado\u2019s reopening will be a long, painstaking process even after the order lifts.<\/p>\n
