An example of a COVID vaccine record in the myColorado app.

Denver and five surrounding counties issued new public health orders Tuesday requiring people to wear masks in public indoor spaces with an exception for businesses that choose to let in only patrons vaccinated against COVID-19.

That means businesses in Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Boulder, Denver and Jefferson counties may start checking your vaccination status when the order goes into effect Wednesday.
