As a healthcare facility, we at PTIS have been following our state rules from the Colorado Department of Health requiring all persons wear masks while in our clinics. Gov. Jared Polis issued a statewide mask mandate on July 16 as the number of COVID-19 cases are showing what he called a “significant uptick.” The order for wearing a face mask applies to everyone in the state who is age 11 and older whenever they’re anywhere in public and indoors. People who have medical conditions or disabilities that prevent them from wearing face masks are exempt. Thank you for complying with these mandates as well as any new or changing mandates. PLEASE REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR MASK WHEN YOU VISIT Help Us Follow Our New City Ordinance
