Public Health Orders In Effect
Broomfield is currently under two Public Health Orders:
-
Local: Broomfield is operating under a Public Health Order enacting a simplified version of “the Dial” to continue to slow the spread of COVID-19 while vaccination efforts are ongoing. Under this PHO, Broomfield is in "Level Clear" through August 16, 2021. View details.
-
State: Broomfield will continue to follow the updated Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Third Amended Public Health Order 20-28, which no longer requires face coverings in most settings. This order is in effect June 1 through July 1, 2021, unless extended. View Details.
Do your part by continuing to follow the 4W’s (washing your hands, watching your distance, waiting on gatherings, and wearing a mask when required). If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, get tested, and get your COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible to protect yourself and others.
