Effective April 27, 2020, Governor Jared Polis issued Executive Order D 2020 045 allowing for the Limited Recommencement of Voluntary or Elective Surgeries and Procedures in Colorado.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), based on the Governor’s directive, issued Public Health Order 20-29 and amended the Order on May 6, 2020 to provide details of certain restrictions and safety guidance for Dental settings related to the resumption of certain voluntary or elective surgeries.The Public Health Order sets forth requirements for reinstating dental services in accordance with priorities, requirements and specific criteria while minimizing the risk of COVID-19 transmission to patients, healthcare workers, community members and others by promoting safety and maximizing protection while avoiding further delays in providing healthcare for Coloradans.
Additionally, Governor Polis issued Executive Order D 2020 044, directing the state to enter the new Safer at Home phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is to have most people stay at home as much as possible and avoid any unnecessary social interactions, while also allowing businesses that are hurting from extended closures to gradually reopen under restrictions and guidance to ensure as much safety as possible for both employees and consumers. CDPHE, based on the Governor’s directive, issued Public Health Order 20-28, amended May 8, to provide details of certain restrictions and safety guidance by broad industry type.
CDPHE is making the information contained in both Public Health Orders available via the Safer at Home webpage.
DORA recognizes that these orders, while detailed, do not necessarily reach the level of specificity many of our regulated professions desire before reopening. Additionally, we know that businesses and professionals are being asked to absorb information from a wide variety of sources. In an effort to provide not only additional clarity on industry and business-specific safety measures, but also to synthesize information from many state of Colorado sources, we have compiled the following guidance.
