In-person dining across Colorado to resume on Wednesday
Polis' executive order limits restaurants to 50% seating capacity
DENVER – Gov. Jared Polis is lifting the blanket ban on in-person dining at Colorado restaurants on Wednesday, citing declining COVID-19 case growth.
The executive order released Sunday afternoon limits seating to half of a restaurant’s seating or 50 diners at a time for restaurants, whichever is lower. It also caps groups at eight people per party and encourages outdoor seating whenever possible. Bars and establishments that do not serve food remain closed.
“The safest thing anyone can do is stay home whenever possible, but for those who want to shop and dine we want to make sure it can be done as safely as possible,” Polis said in a prepared statement.

Polis’ order also allows private campsites to reopen immediately, and for day camps and youth sports programs to begin June 1. A previous order closing ski resorts has also expired, allowing operators to restart with the approval of their county health authorities.
The statewide lift comes days after Colorado health officials granted a variance to Larimer County, allowing restaurants, gyms and other non-essential services to reopen at limited capacity.
