BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – The owners of bars and restaurants in Boulder now have to make changes because of the growing spread of COVID-19 — largely among young people. For the next 13 days, the city health department will prohibit alcohol sales after 10 p.m.

The change was announced Friday in an emergency order and only applies to restaurants and bars. According to a city release, COVID-19 cases have been on the rise for three weeks and the intent of the order is to “slow the increasing spread of coronavirus among young people in Boulder.”
