Colorado’s Governor Polis Expected to Extend Mask Mandate Again

I’ll be honest with the low COVID-19 numbers we have seen and how it seemed that businesses were opening up, I’m a bit shocked to find out that Governor Polis announced in a news conference that he expected to extend the mask mandate through mid-April. With the current mask mandate set to expire this Saturday, April 3rd I thought it would soon become a personal choice on whether to continue with face masks but that will not be the case. According to 4CBS, Governor Polis implied that the current mask mandate would be extended once again for another two weeks.
After hitting the middle of April the state of Colorado would then give most of the control to local health officials when dealing with COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines.

Will you be following the mask mandate if it is extended at the end of the week?
