Wear your mask if you’re out in public or in a business. It’s now a statewide rule for all indoor and public spaces throughout Colorado. The mandatory statewide mask order has been issued by Governor Jared Polis. It is in effect for 30 days, possibly longer. There are a few exceptions from the Governor’s office. Kids under 10 don’t have to wear a mask. Same with those who can’t medically tolerate a face covering. A few other exemptions would be those who are hearing impaired and need to see someone’s mouth to communicate. You don’t have to wear a mask when seated at a restaurant. You don’t have to wear a mask if you’re receiving a service where the temporary removal of the mask is necessary to perform that service. Those actively engaged in public safety don’t have to wear a mask. That would be law enforcement, firefighters, or emergency medical personnel. You don’t have to wear a mask if officiating at a religious service, or giving a speech for broadcast or for an audience. The list has been posted on the KRAI Facebook page.
