Operative words

jury trials throughout the state of Colorado were suspended by the order of then Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan B. Coats dated March 16, 2020, and as extended by the Chief Justice's orders of May 5, 2020 and June 15, 2020, which precluded any person being summoned to state courts to assemble for jury service to begin any time prior to August 3, 2020... On July 24, 2020, Chief Justice Coats issued an Updated Order Regarding COVID-19 and [Operation of Colorado State Courts permitting districts to] resume conducting jury trials after August 2, 2020, provided the Chief Judge of the district determined that a jury pool can safely be assembled... [the District] again suspended jury trials. AO 2020-16.... That Order was extended by AO 2020-20 [and by the order continuing] jury trials set though April 2, 2021 dated February 1, 2021... we are able to resume a limited numbers of jury trials in the 7th Judicial District with six to seven person jury panels beginning on April 5, 2021
