Information in this report was gathered prior to 8:30 a.m.
IMPACTED LIFELINES AND KEY COMPONENTS
State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) Status
Level 1
The State Emergency Operations Center is at Level 1. CDPHE and the SEOC combined organizations to form a Unified Command in the effort to
support the states needs against the COVID19 pandemic. All functions are available for prioritizing and fulfilling requests. Supplies of certain high- demand personal protective equipment remain constrained.
Due to COVID19, physical staffing within the State EOC will be carefully managed. Partners physically present in the EOC will vary at any time, and
remote coordination tools will be used. At this time, there is no need for Emergency Response Coordinators to report to the EOC unless specifically
contacted and requested.
SEOC hours are 08001700 Monday through Friday, or 24/7 via the state emergency line at 3032798855. All schedules are subject to change based
upon incident needs. All State EOC functions remain available to support current and future incidents.

Community Safety: The state has released the following:
++ (Nov. 5, 2020): Today the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) announced several Colorado counties are moving to
stricter levels on the state’s COVID19 dial. See where each county is at using
the following website:
https://covid19.colorado.gov/data/covid19dial/covid19dialdashboard
The COVID19 dial includes five levels, from least to most restrictive:
• Protect Our Neighbors Green: Local public health agencies are able to contain
surges in cases and outbreaks through testing, case investigation, contact
tracing, isolation, quarantine, sitespecific closures, and enforcement of public
health orders.
• Safer at Home Blue: Less restrictive than Safer at Home Level 2, this level is
for counties with low virus transmission that have not yet achieved Protect Our
Neighbors.
• Safer at Home Yellow: The baseline. While we are all still safer at home, we are
also able to practice greater social distancing in our great outdoors than in
confined indoor spaces.
• Safer at Home Orange: This is more restrictive than Safer at Home Level 2, for
counties experiencing increased metrics. Action is needed, but Stay at Home
may not be warranted.
• Stay at Home Red: Everyone is required to stay at home except for grocery
shopping, exercise and necessary activities. Only critical businesses are open.
Every Safer at Home level limits personal gatherings to 10 or fewer people from
no more than two households, and there are various capacity limits for other
activities. Review a comparative chart of every level.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wpq8MrsvtY0_jW07mWCLmVXtv4P_wFR2/view
++ The State is urging Coloradans to do three important things during the month
of November:
• Interact with only those in your household This means all Coloradans need to
do their best to avoid any social interactions with friends and family outside of
their homes throughout the month of November.
• Keep your distance Just because an individual is wearing a mask doesn’t
mean they aren’t at risk if they are interacting with others in close proximity.
Coloradans have to do a better job of staying six or more feet away from others.
• Wear a Mask The numbers are clear. If an individual wears a mask, they have
a much lower risk of getting or transmitting the virus.

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 (stabilization). The lifeline has not fully returned to its “pre- incident normal”, as the state continues to meet the needs of the public and
CDPHE is still performing critical services such as monitoring, testing,
resourcing and responding functions in response to COVID19.
++ As of today there are 176,694 cases, 11,802 hospitalized, 64 counties,
1,511,200 people tested, 2,651 deaths among cases, 2,324 deaths due to
COVID19
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) today
released a new public health order with streamlined guidance and clarification on
the dial framework. The new public health order is similar to past orders, but
integrates Protect Our Neighbors, Safer at Home, and Stay at Home orders
together, and it makes a series of technical updates requested by stakeholders.
It goes into effect at midnight, Nov. 3.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m_tYVWNTMJAuqt3kq9d2_6SNqrL7fLa7/view
Medical Care: Tier 2.5 care facilities are former medical facilities that have
resources that enable them to care for higher acuity patients than Tier 3 care
facilities. Tier 2.5 sites will be used for COVID19 positive patients from senior
longterm care facilities to provide isolation from the rest of the facility. Tier 3
care facilities will have resources and staff capable of caring for patients who are
recovering from COVID19 who no longer need a critical or acute level of care.
++ St. Anthony’s North 84th Avenue Facility
Location: Westminster (Adams County), Tier 2.5 Facility, Bed Capacity: 88
++ St. MaryCorwin Medical Center
Location: Pueblo, Tier 2.5 Facility, Bed Capacity: 120
++ Colorado Convention Center
Location: Denver County, Tier 3 Facility, Initial Bed Capacity: 250
Patient Movement: UC dispatch center is moving to a "WARM status"
operationally in support of COVID19 patient movement.
Fatality Management: Is in a “Cold Status” and will be activated 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.
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)
++ (Nov. 17, 2020): Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE) released an updated public health order that provides necessary
updates to the COVID19 dial framework today. The order updates Level Red to
indicate counties where there is severe risk of COVID19 spreading rapidly, while
allowing some businesses to remain open at very limited capacity. A sixth level,
Level Purple: Extreme Risk, will be added to the dial, representing when hospital
capacity risks being breached and most businesses and indoor services must
be closed. The updated dial levels will go into effect on Friday, Nov. 20.
The new dial levels, effective Nov. 20, are:
Level Green Protect Our Neighbors: for counties that are able to locally contain
surges. Most businesses are open with generous capacity limits.
Level Blue Caution: for counties with low transmission levels that aren’t quite
ready for Protect Our Neighbors. Capacity limits are more permissive than
yellow.
Level Yellow Concern: the baseline level for counties with elevated
transmission levels but stable hospitalizations.
Level Orange High Risk: for counties where numbers are going up but not to
the point where everything needs to be shut down. The capacity limits are
moderate.
Level Red Severe Risk: for counties with high levels of transmission,
hospitalizations, and positivity rates. Most indoor activities are prohibited or
strictly limited, and outdoor activities are encouraged as an alternative. The
capacity limits are significant.
Level Purple Extreme Risk: for counties where hospital capacity is at extreme
risk of being overrun. At this level, all businesses must significantly curtail in
person functions and people must stay at home except for necessary activities.
CDPHE has notified the following counties that they will move to Level Red on
Friday, November 20, 2020:
Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas,
Jefferson, La Plata, Logan, Mesa, Morgan, Routt, Summit, Washington
CDPHE has notified the following counties that they will move to Level Orange

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)
++ (Nov. 17, 2020): Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE) released an updated public health order that provides necessary
updates to the COVID19 dial framework today. The order updates Level Red to
indicate counties where there is severe risk of COVID19 spreading rapidly, while
allowing some businesses to remain open at very limited capacity. A sixth level,
Level Purple: Extreme Risk, will be added to the dial, representing when hospital
capacity risks being breached and most businesses and indoor services must
be closed. The updated dial levels will go into effect on Friday, Nov. 20.
The new dial levels, effective Nov. 20, are:
Level Green Protect Our Neighbors: for counties that are able to locally contain
surges. Most businesses are open with generous capacity limits.
Level Blue Caution: for counties with low transmission levels that aren’t quite
ready for Protect Our Neighbors. Capacity limits are more permissive than
yellow.
Level Yellow Concern: the baseline level for counties with elevated
transmission levels but stable hospitalizations.
Level Orange High Risk: for counties where numbers are going up but not to
the point where everything needs to be shut down. The capacity limits are
moderate.
Level Red Severe Risk: for counties with high levels of transmission,
hospitalizations, and positivity rates. Most indoor activities are prohibited or
strictly limited, and outdoor activities are encouraged as an alternative. The
capacity limits are significant.
Level Purple Extreme Risk: for counties where hospital capacity is at extreme
risk of being overrun. At this level, all businesses must significantly curtail in
person functions and people must stay at home except for necessary activities.
CDPHE has notified the following counties that they will move to Level Red on
Friday, November 20, 2020:
Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas,
Jefferson, La Plata, Logan, Mesa, Morgan, Routt, Summit, Washington
CDPHE has notified the following counties that they will move to Level Orange

COLORADO DAILY STATUS REPORT NOVEMBER 19, 2020
Information in this report was gathered prior to 8:30 a.m.
IMPACTED LIFELINES AND KEY COMPONENTS
State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) Status
Level 1
The State Emergency Operations Center is at Level 1. CDPHE and the SEOC combined organizations to form a Unified Command in the effort to
support the states needs against the COVID19 pandemic. All functions are available for prioritizing and fulfilling requests. Supplies of certain high- demand personal protective equipment remain constrained.
Due to COVID19, physical staffing within the State EOC will be carefully managed. Partners physically present in the EOC will vary at any time, and
remote coordination tools will be used. At this time, there is no need for Emergency Response Coordinators to report to the EOC unless specifically
contacted and requested.
SEOC hours are 08001700 Monday through Friday, or 24/7 via the state emergency line at 3032798855. All schedules are subject to change based
upon incident needs. All State EOC functions remain available to support current and future incidents.

Community Safety: The state has released the following:
++ (Nov. 5, 2020): Today the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) announced several Colorado counties are moving to
stricter levels on the state’s COVID19 dial. See where each county is at using
the following website:
https://covid19.colorado.gov/data/covid19dial/covid19dialdashboard
The COVID19 dial includes five levels, from least to most restrictive:
• Protect Our Neighbors Green: Local public health agencies are able to contain
surges in cases and outbreaks through testing, case investigation, contact
tracing, isolation, quarantine, sitespecific closures, and enforcement of public
health orders.
• Safer at Home Blue: Less restrictive than Safer at Home Level 2, this level is
for counties with low virus transmission that have not yet achieved Protect Our
Neighbors.
• Safer at Home Yellow: The baseline. While we are all still safer at home, we are
also able to practice greater social distancing in our great outdoors than in
confined indoor spaces.
• Safer at Home Orange: This is more restrictive than Safer at Home Level 2, for
counties experiencing increased metrics. Action is needed, but Stay at Home
may not be warranted.
• Stay at Home Red: Everyone is required to stay at home except for grocery
shopping, exercise and necessary activities. Only critical businesses are open.
Every Safer at Home level limits personal gatherings to 10 or fewer people from
no more than two households, and there are various capacity limits for other
activities. Review a comparative chart of every level.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wpq8MrsvtY0_jW07mWCLmVXtv4P_wFR2/view
++ The State is urging Coloradans to do three important things during the month
of November:
• Interact with only those in your household This means all Coloradans need to
do their best to avoid any social interactions with friends and family outside of
their homes throughout the month of November.
• Keep your distance Just because an individual is wearing a mask doesn’t
mean they aren’t at risk if they are interacting with others in close proximity.
Coloradans have to do a better job of staying six or more feet away from others.
• Wear a Mask The numbers are clear. If an individual wears a mask, they have
a much lower risk of getting or transmitting the virus.

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 (stabilization). The lifeline has not fully returned to its “pre- incident normal”, as the state continues to meet the needs of the public and
CDPHE is still performing critical services such as monitoring, testing,
resourcing and responding functions in response to COVID19.
++ As of today there are 176,694 cases, 11,802 hospitalized, 64 counties,
1,511,200 people tested, 2,651 deaths among cases, 2,324 deaths due to
COVID19
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) today
released a new public health order with streamlined guidance and clarification on
the dial framework. The new public health order is similar to past orders, but
integrates Protect Our Neighbors, Safer at Home, and Stay at Home orders
together, and it makes a series of technical updates requested by stakeholders.
It goes into effect at midnight, Nov. 3.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m_tYVWNTMJAuqt3kq9d2_6SNqrL7fLa7/view
Medical Care: Tier 2.5 care facilities are former medical facilities that have
resources that enable them to care for higher acuity patients than Tier 3 care
facilities. Tier 2.5 sites will be used for COVID19 positive patients from senior
longterm care facilities to provide isolation from the rest of the facility. Tier 3
care facilities will have resources and staff capable of caring for patients who are
recovering from COVID19 who no longer need a critical or acute level of care.

COLORADO DAILY STATUS REPORT NOVEMBER 19, 2020
Information in this report was gathered prior to 8:30 a.m.
IMPACTED LIFELINES AND KEY COMPONENTS
State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) Status
Level 1
The State Emergency Operations Center is at Level 1. CDPHE and the SEOC combined organizations to form a Unified Command in the effort to
support the states needs against the COVID19 pandemic. All functions are available for prioritizing and fulfilling requests. Supplies of certain high- demand personal protective equipment remain constrained.
Due to COVID19, physical staffing within the State EOC will be carefully managed. Partners physically present in the EOC will vary at any time, and
remote coordination tools will be used. At this time, there is no need for Emergency Response Coordinators to report to the EOC unless specifically
contacted and requested.
SEOC hours are 08001700 Monday through Friday, or 24/7 via the state emergency line at 3032798855. All schedules are subject to change based
upon incident needs. All State EOC functions remain available to support current and future incidents.

Community Safety: The state has released the following:
++ (Nov. 5, 2020): Today the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) announced several Colorado counties are moving to
stricter levels on the state’s COVID19 dial. See where each county is at using
the following website:
https://covid19.colorado.gov/data/covid19dial/covid19dialdashboard
The COVID19 dial includes five levels, from least to most restrictive:
• Protect Our Neighbors Green: Local public health agencies are able to contain
surges in cases and outbreaks through testing, case investigation, contact
tracing, isolation, quarantine, sitespecific closures, and enforcement of public
health orders.
• Safer at Home Blue: Less restrictive than Safer at Home Level 2, this level is
for counties with low virus transmission that have not yet achieved Protect Our
Neighbors.
• Safer at Home Yellow: The baseline. While we are all still safer at home, we are
also able to practice greater social distancing in our great outdoors than in
confined indoor spaces.
• Safer at Home Orange: This is more restrictive than Safer at Home Level 2, for
counties experiencing increased metrics. Action is needed, but Stay at Home
may not be warranted.
• Stay at Home Red: Everyone is required to stay at home except for grocery
shopping, exercise and necessary activities. Only critical businesses are open.
Every Safer at Home level limits personal gatherings to 10 or fewer people from
no more than two households, and there are various capacity limits for other
activities. Review a comparative chart of every level.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wpq8MrsvtY0_jW07mWCLmVXtv4P_wFR2/view
++ The State is urging Coloradans to do three important things during the month
of November:
• Interact with only those in your household This means all Coloradans need to
do their best to avoid any social interactions with friends and family outside of
their homes throughout the month of November.
• Keep your distance Just because an individual is wearing a mask doesn’t
mean they aren’t at risk if they are interacting with others in close proximity.
Coloradans have to do a better job of staying six or more feet away from others.
• Wear a Mask The numbers are clear. If an individual wears a mask, they have
a much lower risk of getting or transmitting the virus.

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 (stabilization). The lifeline has not fully returned to its “pre- incident normal”, as the state continues to meet the needs of the public and
CDPHE is still performing critical services such as monitoring, testing,
resourcing and responding functions in response to COVID19.
++ As of today there are 176,694 cases, 11,802 hospitalized, 64 counties,
1,511,200 people tested, 2,651 deaths among cases, 2,324 deaths due to
COVID19
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) today
released a new public health order with streamlined guidance and clarification on
the dial framework. The new public health order is similar to past orders, but
integrates Protect Our Neighbors, Safer at Home, and Stay at Home orders
together, and it makes a series of technical updates requested by stakeholders.
It goes into effect at midnight, Nov. 3.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m_tYVWNTMJAuqt3kq9d2_6SNqrL7fLa7/view
Medical Care: Tier 2.5 care facilities are former medical facilities that have
resources that enable them to care for higher acuity patients than Tier 3 care
facilities. Tier 2.5 sites will be used for COVID19 positive patients from senior
longterm care facilities to provide isolation from the rest of the facility. Tier 3
care facilities will have resources and staff capable of caring for patients who are
recovering from COVID19 who no longer need a critical or acute level of care.
++ St. Anthony’s North 84th Avenue Facility
Location: Westminster (Adams County), Tier 2.5 Facility, Bed Capacity: 88
++ St. MaryCorwin Medical Center
Location: Pueblo, Tier 2.5 Facility, Bed Capacity: 120
++ Colorado Convention Center
Location: Denver County, Tier 3 Facility, Initial Bed Capacity: 250
Patient Movement: UC dispatch center is moving to a "WARM status"
operationally in support of COVID19 patient movement.
Fatality Management: Is in a “Cold Status” and will be activated 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.
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)
++ (Nov. 17, 2020): Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE) released an updated public health order that provides necessary
updates to the COVID19 dial framework today. The order updates Level Red to
indicate counties where there is severe risk of COVID19 spreading rapidly, while
allowing some businesses to remain open at very limited capacity. A sixth level,
Level Purple: Extreme Risk, will be added to the dial, representing when hospital
capacity risks being breached and most businesses and indoor services must
be closed. The updated dial levels will go into effect on Friday, Nov. 20.
The new dial levels, effective Nov. 20, are:
Level Green Protect Our Neighbors: for counties that are able to locally contain
surges. Most businesses are open with generous capacity limits.
Level Blue Caution: for counties with low transmission levels that aren’t quite
ready for Protect Our Neighbors. Capacity limits are more permissive than
yellow.
Level Yellow Concern: the baseline level for counties with elevated
transmission levels but stable hospitalizations.
Level Orange High Risk: for counties where numbers are going up but not to
the point where everything needs to be shut down. The capacity limits are
moderate.
Level Red Severe Risk: for counties with high levels of transmission,
hospitalizations, and positivity rates. Most indoor activities are prohibited or
strictly limited, and outdoor activities are encouraged as an alternative. The
capacity limits are significant.
Level Purple Extreme Risk: for counties where hospital capacity is at extreme
risk of being overrun. At this level, all businesses must significantly curtail in
person functions and people must stay at home except for necessary activities.
CDPHE has notified the following counties that they will move to Level Red on
Friday, November 20, 2020:
Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas,
Jefferson, La Plata, Logan, Mesa, Morgan, Routt, Summit, Washington
CDPHE has notified the following counties that they will move to Level Orange

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)
++ (Nov. 17, 2020): Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE) released an updated public health order that provides necessary
updates to the COVID19 dial framework today. The order updates Level Red to
indicate counties where there is severe risk of COVID19 spreading rapidly, while
allowing some businesses to remain open at very limited capacity. A sixth level,
Level Purple: Extreme Risk, will be added to the dial, representing when hospital
capacity risks being breached and most businesses and indoor services must
be closed. The updated dial levels will go into effect on Friday, Nov. 20.
The new dial levels, effective Nov. 20, are:
Level Green Protect Our Neighbors: for counties that are able to locally contain
surges. Most businesses are open with generous capacity limits.
Level Blue Caution: for counties with low transmission levels that aren’t quite
ready for Protect Our Neighbors. Capacity limits are more permissive than
yellow.
Level Yellow Concern: the baseline level for counties with elevated
transmission levels but stable hospitalizations.
Level Orange High Risk: for counties where numbers are going up but not to
the point where everything needs to be shut down. The capacity limits are
moderate.
Level Red Severe Risk: for counties with high levels of transmission,
hospitalizations, and positivity rates. Most indoor activities are prohibited or
strictly limited, and outdoor activities are encouraged as an alternative. The
capacity limits are significant.
Level Purple Extreme Risk: for counties where hospital capacity is at extreme
risk of being overrun. At this level, all businesses must significantly curtail in
person functions and people must stay at home except for necessary activities.
CDPHE has notified the following counties that they will move to Level Red on
Friday, November 20, 2020:
Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas,
Jefferson, La Plata, Logan, Mesa, Morgan, Routt, Summit, Washington
CDPHE has notified the following counties that they will move to Level Orange

COLORADO DAILY STATUS REPORT NOVEMBER 19, 2020
Information in this report was gathered prior to 8:30 a.m.
IMPACTED LIFELINES AND KEY COMPONENTS
State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) Status
Level 1
The State Emergency Operations Center is at Level 1. CDPHE and the SEOC combined organizations to form a Unified Command in the effort to
support the states needs against the COVID19 pandemic. All functions are available for prioritizing and fulfilling requests. Supplies of certain high- demand personal protective equipment remain constrained.
Due to COVID19, physical staffing within the State EOC will be carefully managed. Partners physically present in the EOC will vary at any time, and
remote coordination tools will be used. At this time, there is no need for Emergency Response Coordinators to report to the EOC unless specifically
contacted and requested.
SEOC hours are 08001700 Monday through Friday, or 24/7 via the state emergency line at 3032798855. All schedules are subject to change based
upon incident needs. All State EOC functions remain available to support current and future incidents.

Community Safety: The state has released the following:
++ (Nov. 5, 2020): Today the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) announced several Colorado counties are moving to
stricter levels on the state’s COVID19 dial. See where each county is at using
the following website:
https://covid19.colorado.gov/data/covid19dial/covid19dialdashboard
The COVID19 dial includes five levels, from least to most restrictive:
• Protect Our Neighbors Green: Local public health agencies are able to contain
surges in cases and outbreaks through testing, case investigation, contact
tracing, isolation, quarantine, sitespecific closures, and enforcement of public
health orders.
• Safer at Home Blue: Less restrictive than Safer at Home Level 2, this level is
for counties with low virus transmission that have not yet achieved Protect Our
Neighbors.
• Safer at Home Yellow: The baseline. While we are all still safer at home, we are
also able to practice greater social distancing in our great outdoors than in
confined indoor spaces.
• Safer at Home Orange: This is more restrictive than Safer at Home Level 2, for
counties experiencing increased metrics. Action is needed, but Stay at Home
may not be warranted.
• Stay at Home Red: Everyone is required to stay at home except for grocery
shopping, exercise and necessary activities. Only critical businesses are open.
Every Safer at Home level limits personal gatherings to 10 or fewer people from
no more than two households, and there are various capacity limits for other
activities. Review a comparative chart of every level.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wpq8MrsvtY0_jW07mWCLmVXtv4P_wFR2/view
++ The State is urging Coloradans to do three important things during the month
of November:
• Interact with only those in your household This means all Coloradans need to
do their best to avoid any social interactions with friends and family outside of
their homes throughout the month of November.
• Keep your distance Just because an individual is wearing a mask doesn’t
mean they aren’t at risk if they are interacting with others in close proximity.
Coloradans have to do a better job of staying six or more feet away from others.
• Wear a Mask The numbers are clear. If an individual wears a mask, they have
a much lower risk of getting or transmitting the virus.

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 (stabilization). The lifeline has not fully returned to its “pre- incident normal”, as the state continues to meet the needs of the public and
CDPHE is still performing critical services such as monitoring, testing,
resourcing and responding functions in response to COVID19.
++ As of today there are 176,694 cases, 11,802 hospitalized, 64 counties,
1,511,200 people tested, 2,651 deaths among cases, 2,324 deaths due to
COVID19
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) today
released a new public health order with streamlined guidance and clarification on
the dial framework. The new public health order is similar to past orders, but
integrates Protect Our Neighbors, Safer at Home, and Stay at Home orders
together, and it makes a series of technical updates requested by stakeholders.
It goes into effect at midnight, Nov. 3.
