Boulder County Public Health (BCPH) – Universal Masking as of Friday, Sept. 3

Posted on: September 3rd, 2021

Universal Masking

To support the safety of all the community members, including children who are not eligible for vaccination, Boulder County Public Health (BCPH) issued Public Health Order 2021-08. The order, approved by Board of Health on Sept. 2, requires mask wearing in all indoor public spaces for all individuals 2 years and older regardless of vaccination status and will go into effect on Friday, Sept. 3.

​Boulder County Public Health is following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) comprehensive data tracking system to determine transmission levels. The CDC’s system tracks COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, testing and other metrics to define four levels of community transmission (low, moderate, substantial/significant and high), based on the percentage of positive tests and the number of cases per 100,000 people. The County Level View displays this information for Boulder County.

As part of the mask order, Boulder County is offering the opportunity for businesses that have implemented vaccine requirements to have additional exceptions from the mask order upon receiving approval from Boulder county Public Health. View information on Fully Vaccinated Facilities.
