Monday, March 23 4:57 p.m. | City amends stay-at-home order regarding liquor stores, recreational pot shops City officials are amending a stay-at-home order that initially labeled liquor stores and recreational marijuana stores as "non-essential." The mandate created a rush from residents to liquor stores and recreational marijuana businesses, potentially putting groups of people at risk of contracting COVID-19. The amended order states that liquor stores, as well as all marijuana stores - whether recreational or medical - will be exempt so long as "extreme physical distancing" is practiced. "This is an evolving situation and guidance will continue to be refined to ensure that all physical distancing measures are having the desired impact," city officials said in a tweet.
4:20 p.m. | Long lines forming at liquor stores, recreational marijuana shops There was a run on Denver liquor stores and recreational marijuana shops Monday afternoon after Mayor Michael Hancock announced a stay-at-home order that goes into effect 5 p.m. Tuesday and which does not exempt the two types of businesses.
A lot of states, including Colorado, ordered non-essential businesses to either reduce staffing or close. In Denver, the order had to be amended when there was a run on liquor stores and recreational marijuana shops, which were not considered "essential" businesses.
