Polis takes step back closes bars

COLORADO — Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced Tuesday, June 30 that bars will be closed for in-person service in order to fight coronavirus in the state. Bars may sell take-out alcohol, and those which serve food and function as restaurants can continue serve alcohol if patrons remain 6 feet apart, they are seated with their own party and do not mingle with other patrons. He noted conversations he had with the governors of Arizona and Texas, who say their states’ recent surges are blamed, in part, on large parties, bars opening and crowds in nightclubs.
