Retrieval note

Incorporation of CDPHE guidance by a mandatory verb ('must comply with the guidance and directives... issued by' CDPHE). Elsewhere the same order uses recommendation verbs and they are recorded as such: Critical Businesses 'are encouraged to remain open'; financial institutions 'are encouraged to implement electronic platforms'. Businesses conducting Minimum Basic Operations 'must comply at all times with Social Distancing Requirements'.
