Retrieval noteThe Q3 2021 statewide floor. Mandatory: § I.B lead sentence ('shall comply') and § I.B.2 ('must implement'). Recommendation: § I.B.1 ('Employers are strongly encouraged to provide reasonable work accommodations... for individuals who cannot obtain access to COVID-19 vaccine') and § I.B.3 ('strongly encouraged to follow the best practices for disease mitigation found in CDPHE Guidance'). The order also incorporates the CDC conveyance mask order of Jan. 29, 2021 by reference. The Fifth Amended (July 30, 2021, Ex. CO-053) and Sixth Amended (Aug. 31, 2021, Ex. CO-091) orders repeat § I.B.2 verbatim ('All employers must implement the face covering requirements').
