COLORADO UNDER STAY AT HOME ORDER

Under Executive Order D2020 017, residents must remain at home, and only leave their home to engage in activities or perform tasks critical to their health and safety, or to the health and safety of their family or household members or to go to or return from “critical work.”

Last night the Colorado Department of Health & Environment issued Amended Public Health Order 20-24  which outlined D2020 017 EO exemptions, including “The provision, operation and support of the following government functions shall continue: [] Judicial branch operations, including attorneys if necessary for ongoing trials and required court appearances, unless appearances can be done remotely[.]”

Then mid morning today, the Amended Order was updated to include “Professional services, such as legal, title companies, or accounting services, real estate appraisals and transactions” as critical businesses that are exempt from the Stay at Home Order.
