Gov. Jared Polis ordered bars and restaurants to cease dine-in service and for theaters, casinos and gyms to close statewide on Monday afternoon, ahead of expected St. Patrick\u2019s Day crowds.<\/p>\n

The order is for the next 30 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese establishments can remain open but that\u2019s for take-out, delivery and room service,\u201d Polis said of restaurants.<\/p>\n

The order\/guidance followed an announcement by Denver Mayor Michael Hancock closing eateries, except for delivery and takeout meals, to slow the spread of the new coronavirus. Since Denver allow customers to take alcoholic drinks off-premises, it effectively closed all bars. Polis\u2019 order also would exempt to-go meals.<\/p>\n

Colorado now has 160 positive coronavirus cases, with 20 people hospitalized, Polis said. \u201cWe know that there are likely thousands in Colorado\u201d who have the virus, Polis said.<\/p>\n

RIGHT NOW: To save lives and help prevent our hospitals from being overwhelmed by COVID-19 Coronavirus patients, I\u2019m ordering no dine-in restaurants & bars. Delivery, take-out and drive thru will still be available. Now more than ever it is important that we all do our part to stop the spread in Colorado. #DoingMyPartCO<\/p>\n
