Gov. Jared Polis on Wednesday said he was issuing a statewide stay-at-home order starting Thursday morning to try to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The order goes into effect at 6 a.m. on Thursday and continues until at least April 11.<\/p>\n

The decision to enact the mandate comes just days after Polis said such an order was unenforceable<\/a><\/i> and not the right direction for the state. Instead, on Sunday he issued \u201cguidance\u201d asking Coloradans not to leave their homes unless absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n

But on Monday and earlier on Wednesday counties in the Denver metro area essentially shut down by each enacting their own stay-at-home orders<\/a><\/i>. Other Colorado counties, including Piktin, San Miguel and La Plata, also issued stay-at-home orders on their own.<\/p>\n

The order is the most significant step Polis has taken as he tries to make a dent in the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. He announced it just minutes after the deaths tied to the coronavirus in Colorado hit at least 19<\/a><\/i> and the number of confirmed cases ballooned over 1,000<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n
