Jared Polis\u2019 \u201csafer at home\u201d executive order issued Sunday night includes a provision ordering Coloradans not to travel more than 10 miles from their homes to recreate. That means activities like hiking, biking, skiing, fishing and rafting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTravel for recreational purposes should be limited to your own community, like your county of residence,\u201d the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment\u2019s public health order, which went into effect on Monday morning, says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The new safer-at-home order is in effect through at least May 27, meaning that Coloradans are expected to stay close to home past Memorial Day, the unofficial start of the summer and a popular weekend for camping and hiking. The fear is that visitors will either contract or spread the virus in areas of the state not as well equipped to deal with mass infections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row at-donation at-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cYou made the sacrifice of staying at home for 32 days,\u201d Polis said at a news conference on Monday. \u201cI think you can make the sacrifice of going to your second or third favorite park for another month.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>For more on this story, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradosun.com\/2020\/04\/28\/colorado-safer-at-home-outdoor-recreation-10-miles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coloradosun.com<\/a><i class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\"><\/i>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The&nbsp;Colorado&nbsp;Sun&nbsp;is a reader-supported news organization dedicated to covering the people, places and policies that matter in&nbsp;Colorado.
