As COVID-19, also known as coronavirus, continues to sweep through the country, major cities are shutting down as a way to mitigate the quickly spreading illness. Local Denver businesses, restaurants, bars, and queer spaces are now limited to a gathering of 10 folks or less, and many of these establishments are either opting to or are being forced to lock the doors for the next eight weeks.
The City of Denver recently announced that there would be a mandatory closure to any space which does not serve food, with those locations being forced to supply only delivery and take out options, if there is enough space inside the facility to maintain the six-foot required distance between persons.
