Colorado Governor Faces Challenges As COVID-19 Cases Surge And Winter Approaches
The state saw more than 8,000 new cases last week. Gov. Jared Polis has enacted a mask mandate and limited social gatherings but has encountered pushback.
Colorado is among the states experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases. In August, the state logged about 2,000 new cases a week. Last week, that number jumped to more than 8,000.
The state's Democratic governor, Jared Polis, warns that the situation could worsen in the coming months.
"We just have this short window of time to get this back under control before the holiday. "Every one of us needs to really ask ourselves what is our resolve to avoid unnecessary loss of life."
