And should the counties maintain Level Orange standards related to COVID-19 for seven consecutive days after being accepted into the 5 Star State Certification Program, the CDPHE noted, approved businesses would be able to operate at Level Yellow standards allowing select restaurants and gyms to increase capacity from 25 percent to 50 percent, for example, and move last call from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.
