Moments ago, I signed a letter to the President asking him to declare a Major Disaster Area for the State of Colorado to help us deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. That has been granted for California, Washington, and New York. We have made the request for Major disaster status because Colorado is near the top in cases per capita with a uniquely high situation unfolding in our mountain communities as well as those who have recently visited those mountain communities.”
Colorado Governor Jared Polis
