Friday, December 18, 2020

DENVER - Today, Governor Polis took action today in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gov. Polis amended an Executive Order for the COVID-19 disaster emergency declaration to transfer money from the State Emergency Reserve to the Disaster Emergency Fund to cover the remaining December costs for testing and vaccine distribution due to a delay in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursements. 

Governor Polis has taken bold action to keep people housed during this global pandemic. Gov. Polis today amended and extended an Executive Order limiting certain evictions to provide relief to Coloradans affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This order could be subject to change in order to reflect any Congressional action should the federal government alter the Center for Disease Control and Preventions existing order in a Congressional relief package.
