Jefferson and Arapahoe counties have extended the stay-at-home order through May 8; however, the extended order in both counties differs from the previous statewide order — non-critical businesses are now allowed to offer curbside delivery of products, health officials said.

"Our goal has always been to reduce the severity of this crisis with as short a disruption to people's economic livelihoods as possible. We hope this update to enable non-Critical Businesses to begin operating in this manner helps us start to get back on our feet," Mark Johnson, Jefferson County Public Health's executive director, said in a statement.

Denver, Boulder, Broomfield and Adams counties have also extended their stay-at-home orders through May 8. Douglas County remains under the statewide 'safer-at-home' order.

"We want to get people back to work as soon as it is safer to do so," John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, said in a statement when the order extension was first announced.

"This extension in Adams and Arapahoe will give us more time to do several things: expand public health measures such as testing and contact notification, develop and implement strategies in partnership with our business community on how to safely reopen, and to encourage the public to practice social distancing and other safety measures — all of which should hopefully reduce the spread of this disease."
