Gov. Jared Polis on Wednesday sent a clear message to Coloradans that they will have to endure measures to limit their movement for many months to come, though to a lesser degree, in order to keep the new coronavirus from spreading out of control.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to dispel any notion that we can go back to the way things were,\u201d Polis said.<\/p>\n

The governor laid out a multipronged approach to keep coronavirus from infecting too many people, including increased testing, tailored social-distancing measures, a reinforced health care system and a bolstering of state epidemiological resources.<\/p>\n

He said large public gatherings will be banned until further notice, and bars and restaurants won\u2019t operate as they used to when they begin to reopen.<\/p>\n
