Counties will be eligible to apply for the Protect Our Neighbors Phase in July. To qualify, counties must have a low virus prevalence, health care capacity to handle a surge, and the ability to test, track and contact trace. According to Dr. Rachel Herlilhy, a state epidemiologist at Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, county mitigation plans must be approved by an elected official.
Polis also mentioned that the state is recovering economically. Colorado regained about 20 percent of the jobs lost between March and April. The state’s unemployment rate now hovers at 10.2 percent.
“My administration is committed to doing everything we can to help support these families and get everyone back to work, but it begins with effective management of the virus,” he said.
The state legislature passed a $250 million fund so businesses can apply for loans and a $20 million recovery fund for grants for small businesses. Polis said he’s confident that the federal government will negotiate additional relief programs to stimulate the economy.
