Operative words

The following activities are further regulated in the City and County of Denver until further notice: 1. Spectators are prohibited at all non-professional sporting events... youth and adult league sports, practices, games, and tournaments, are hereby prohibited.... restaurants and bars shall also cease on-premises consumption of alcohol by 12:00 a.m.... This order immediately replaces the DDPHE order issued on December 1, 2020, and shall remain in effect until rescinded, superseded, or amended in writing by the Executive Director

Enforcement

D.R.M.C. section 24-24

Notes

Recites that CDPHE moved Denver back to Level Orange 'even though some of Denver's COVID-19 metrics remained in the Level Red range' and that Denver therefore kept additional restrictions. Where the Denver order and PHO 20-36 differed, 'more restrictive measures shall govern.'
