DENVER, July 20, 2020: The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, in collaboration with
the Colorado Department of Education, released new guidance for the fall opening of schools
http://www.cde.state.co.us/planning2021/healthguidancebycovidphase. The guidance will help local public
health agencies work with districts and schools to ensure the safest learning environment possible during
the COVID19 pandemic.
Gov. Polis today signed the Protect Our Neighbors Executive Order which directs CDPHE to create a
certification process to allow local communities to move from Safer at Home in the Vast, Great Outdoors to
Protect Our Neighbors. CDPHE will also issue a corresponding Public Health Order. To qualify for Protect
Our Neighbors, a county or a region must:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hM408_Z6RzFJIZrQnmZwUT9FeUKSkL_w/view
+ Certify that they meet qualification metrics established by CDPHE; and
+ Submit a mitigation and containment plan on what the county or region will do if they fall out of compliance
with one or more of these metrics, and documentation of support for the plan by local officials, law
enforcement, and any others identified by CDPHE.
Safer at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors Executive Order, and provided an update on Colorado’s next
steps during the COVID19 pandemic, introducing more details on the Protect Our Neighbors framework.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eww5S6uQcs8eVxBpZ54TAsd4o6kNFQ6E/view
The guidance provides specific steps a school should take in response to cases and outbreaks and
outlines when classrooms, cohorts, and schools should close. It is a goto manual for school leadership
experiencing one or more cases of COVID19.
Schools are required to report all suspected and confirmed outbreaks to their local public health agency or
CDPHE within four hours. Clinical labs and health care providers report cases to public health; however,
schools also are encouraged to report single cases of COVID19 to their local public health agency.This
case and outbreak guidance, the guidance for the fall opening of schools, CDE’s toolkit for the 202021
school year, and guidance from local public health agencies will provide districts with the information they
need to start the school year in a way that makes sense for their local communities. CDPHE will update
guidance as additional information becomes available. http://www.cde.state.co.us/planning2021

Public Health: Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment is still at a Level 1 status in response to COVID19;
however, the lifeline is changing from yellow to green

monitoring, testing, resourcing and responding functions in
response to COVID19. In addition, operational transition from the
Unified Coordination Command (UCC) to their Department of
Operations Center is still in transition.
++ As of today there are 57,424 cases, 7,028 hospitalized, 63
counties, 710,923 people tested, 1,945 deaths among cases,
1,849 deaths due to COVID19
Medical Care: Alternate Care Sites (ACS) at the Colorado
Convention Center and the Ranch will be operational based on
critical situations of hospital surge.
Patient Movement: UCC dispatch center is in "Cold status"
operational to support COVID19 patient movement.
Fatality Management: The COVID19 Fatality Management Plan
has been approved and signed. Will activate based on situational
needs.
Medical Supply Chain: Continuing to monitor and work within the
supply chain (Nationally), alternative means are available. The
Counties are encouraged to reach out to their stakeholders to
purchase PPE and cleaning supplies in preparation of the second
round of infections and increased cases.

In order to curb some of that social behavior, the Governor announced that, for the next 30 days, the State is
suspending all alcohol sales after 11:00 p.m. each day. This will apply to all entities that are licensed to sell

DENVER, July 20, 2020: The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, in collaboration with
the Colorado Department of Education, released new guidance for the fall opening of schools
http://www.cde.state.co.us/planning2021/healthguidancebycovidphase. The guidance will help local public
health agencies work with districts and schools to ensure the safest learning environment possible during
the COVID19 pandemic.
Gov. Polis today signed the Protect Our Neighbors Executive Order which directs CDPHE to create a
certification process to allow local communities to move from Safer at Home in the Vast, Great Outdoors to
Protect Our Neighbors. CDPHE will also issue a corresponding Public Health Order. To qualify for Protect
Our Neighbors, a county or a region must:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hM408_Z6RzFJIZrQnmZwUT9FeUKSkL_w/view
+ Certify that they meet qualification metrics established by CDPHE; and
+ Submit a mitigation and containment plan on what the county or region will do if they fall out of compliance
with one or more of these metrics, and documentation of support for the plan by local officials, law
enforcement, and any others identified by CDPHE.
Safer at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors Executive Order, and provided an update on Colorado’s next
steps during the COVID19 pandemic, introducing more details on the Protect Our Neighbors framework.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eww5S6uQcs8eVxBpZ54TAsd4o6kNFQ6E/view
The guidance provides specific steps a school should take in response to cases and outbreaks and
outlines when classrooms, cohorts, and schools should close. It is a goto manual for school leadership
experiencing one or more cases of COVID19.
Schools are required to report all suspected and confirmed outbreaks to their local public health agency or
CDPHE within four hours. Clinical labs and health care providers report cases to public health; however,
schools also are encouraged to report single cases of COVID19 to their local public health agency.This
case and outbreak guidance, the guidance for the fall opening of schools, CDE’s toolkit for the 202021
school year, and guidance from local public health agencies will provide districts with the information they
need to start the school year in a way that makes sense for their local communities. CDPHE will update
guidance as additional information becomes available. http://www.cde.state.co.us/planning2021

operational to support COVID19 patient movement.
Fatality Management: The COVID19 Fatality Management Plan
has been approved and signed. Will activate based on situational
needs.
