Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Thursday announced a statewide mandate to wear facial coverings over the mouth and nose in a bid to stem the spread of COVID-19.

Noting a “significant uptick” in COVID-19 cases in Colorado in the past several days, Polis told a press conference that he would be signing an executive order requiring every Coloradan over 10 years old to wear a mask while out in public.
