Gov. Jared Polis signed an executive order Monday that transitions from the safer-at-home guidelines to'Safer at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors.' The new order will be in effect until July 1.

Previously, high-risk Coloradans, those above 65 or with underlying health conditions, were required to stay home unless absolutely necessary. Under the modified order, they are encouraged to enjoy nature while following social distancing guidelines.

Anyone who attended a protest in Colorado is asked to take a free coronavirus test within seven days, Polis said. He encouraged people to get tested at Pepsi Center in Denver. Access to the drive-up testing is being expanded to anyone who's been potentially exposed to the virus and those heading back to work under the state's new public safety guidelines.
