Restrictions Lifted For College Gatherings In Boulder

BOULDER, CO — The stricter gathering orders for young people in Boulder have been lifted, public health officials announced Tuesday.

“We are so grateful to every young adult who made sacrifices to follow the gathering order,” said Jeff Zayach, Boulder County Public Health executive director.

“Don’t let up! Cases are rising across age groups throughout the state.”

While people ages 18 to 22 can return to the same gathering levels as the rest of Boulder County – gatherings of 10 or fewer non-household members – health officials emphasized that new cases are rising throughout the state, and residents need to be vigilant.

"Violations of public health orders related to gatherings will be strictly enforced and additional testing will be provided for CU Boulder students living off-campus," Boulder County Public Health said in a news release.
