Retrieval noteTwo verbs, recorded exactly: the protocols for 'All Businesses and Government Functions' and the employer workplace measures are 'shall'; the sentence directing Critical Businesses to their sector requirements and 'any applicable CDPHE guidance' is 'should... unless doing so would make it impossible to carry out critical functions'. Sector provisions use 'must follow the requirements' and 'must comply with the requirements of Appendix B'. Individuals 'are encouraged to stay at home' outside Level Red (recommendation) and in Level Red 'are ordered to Stay at Home' (mandatory).
