The move means that more businesses in counties across Colorado will be able to expand service capacity. Businesses that are approved under a 5-Star certification plan can operate at increased capacities as well.

The state did clarify that any businesses with 5-Star variances in Level Yellow counties won't be able to operate at Level Blue capacity until at least 70% of people over the age of 70 have been vaccinated.
