Members,

This is a follow-up to the alert that was sent on Sunday November 21st about the Jefferson County Board of Health meeting on masking and vaccine passports scheduled for Monday, Nov. 22nd at 11:00AM.

It has come to our attention that Tri – County Board of Health is also having a meeting to consider a mask mandate in all public Indoor spaces in Adams and Arapahoe Counties.  Tri-County Health does not provide a draft of their actual proposed order on the web site as of 11/21/2021. However, Tri-County Health Department signed the letter requesting that Governor Polis issue a statewide order mandating vaccine passports and face coverings for all Coloradans ages 2 and older in public indoor settings without vaccine passports.
