City of Boulder issues Stay-at-Home order, halts Buffs practices

New cases of COVID-19 have spiked in Boulder recently, causing the City of Boulder to issue a stay-at-home order for college-aged residents.

The order is effective as of 4 p.m. on Thursday, September 24th, and applies to all Boulder residents between the ages of 18 and 22. The order is designed to halt transmission of the virus between University of Colorado students, who despite classes going fully online Wednesday, have seen more than 1,300 probable cases of COVID-19.

According to the ordinance, college-aged residents “may not participate in any gatherings of any size, whether indoors, outdoors, on or off campus, or with individuals of any age.
