Boulder’s young adults do their part to stop the spread of COVID-19

The young adults (18-22 years old) in Boulder have shown their commitment to the wellbeing of all residents by reducing their gathering size in order to slow the spread of COVID-19, per Public Health Order 2020-08. Due to their diligence, they are now able to return to the same gathering sizes as all other Boulder County residents.

“We are so grateful to every young adult who made sacrifices to follow the gathering order,” said Jeff Zayach, Boulder County Public Health executive director. “Don’t let up! Cases are rising across age groups throughout the state.”

While young adults can return to the same gathering levels as the rest of Boulder County – gatherings of 10 or fewer non-household members – this is a vital time with new cases rising throughout the state. Violations of public health orders related to gatherings will be strictly enforced and additional testing will be provided for CU Boulder students living off-campus.

The change in levels is based on metrics identified by risk level including 14-day average new cases per 100,000 among individuals aged 18- to 22-years-old in Boulder County, test positivity percentage, and consistent testing among the age group. Metrics for the young adult levels are monitored daily and reported weekly. The decision to move levels is decided and announced by Boulder County Public Health on Tuesdays by 11 a.m. each week. Any changes in restrictions goes into effect at noon on the Tuesday they’re announced.
