The Governor of Colorado says he does not plan on bringing back a mask mandate throughout the state even as COVID-19 cases surge. Gov. Jared Polis said he would leave masking orders to the counties, citing that neighboring New Mexico has a mask mandate and cases were comparable to those seen in Colorado.

However, Polis did push for more people to get vaccinated.

“It has never been more dangerous for the unvaccinated than it is right now,” Polis said…

“We wouldn’t be here talking about this if everybody was vaccinated,” Polis said. “If you are not vaccinated you are going to get COVID. Maybe this week, maybe this month, maybe next year.”
