If you are working for a business that is still up and running, have lost your job from the repercussions of the virus, or even own a business, you might be wondering, \u201cWhich businesses are considered essential during this time?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>According to colorado.gov, it is important that Coloradans know the order does not apply to:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grocery stores<\/li>\n\n<li>Gas stations<\/li>\n\n<li>Pharmacies<\/li>\n\n<li>Police stations<\/li>\n\n<li>Fire stations\u00a0<\/li>\n\n<li>Hospitals, clinics and healthcare operations\u00a0<\/li>\n\n<li>Garbage\/sanitation\u00a0<\/li>\n\n<li>Public transportation\u00a0<\/li>\n\n<li>Public benefits (i.e. SNAP, Medicaid) hotlines<\/li>\n\n<li>Grocery and meal delivery, drive-through, and takeout options.<\/li>\n\n<li>Liquor and cannabis stores.<\/li>\n\n<li>Health care.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n<li>Transportation.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n<li>Please see the order itself for the full list of exempted businesses.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COVID-19 spreads person to person and is highly contagious.\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>As for everyone else, you must stay home whenever possible.
