Workers at Colorado\u2019s essential businesses and critical government jobs must continue to wear masks at work until at least mid-June, Gov. Jared Polis ordered Saturday.<\/p>\n

The governor extended the mask mandate<\/a> \u2014 which has already been in place for 30 days \u2014 until June 15 in an executive order he signed Saturday, citing a continued need to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus in the state.<\/p>\n

Workers in grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, gun shops, food processing plants, hotels and a variety of other industries considered to be \u201ccritical businesses\u201d must wear masks while at work, and should wear gloves when possible, if gloves are provided by the employer, according to the order.<\/p>\n

Masks must be at least made of cloth and must cover the nose and mouth.<\/p>\n
