Changes include:
· Added updates requiring universal mask use for staff, visitors, and residents regardless of vaccination status. The guidance allows for exceptions for vaccinated residents at particular times during activities and communal dining.
In addition to the mask requirement changes, CDPHE continues to
implement rapid testing for all unvaccinated staff and residents
that leave the facility for longer than 24 hours.
