Face Covering: a covering made of cloth, fabric, or other soft or permeable material, without holes, that covers only the nose and mouth and surrounding areas of the lower face. Mesh, netting, or similarly porous material does not meet the requirements or definition of a Face Covering. A Face Covering may be factory-made or may be handmade and improvised by using ordinary household materials. The Face Covering should fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face; allow for breathing without restriction; and either be constructed of disposable mask materials or include multiple layers of fabric that can be laundered and machine-dried without damage or change to shape. Face Coverings must cover the nose and mouth at all times and should remain in place until taken off safely. If a worker’s Face Covering moves during work, it must be replaced with one that does not need to be frequently adjusted in order to reduce touching of the face. A Face Covering should be replaced when it becomes dirty, wet, and/or difficult to breathe through. Note that any mask that incorporates a one-way valve (typically a raised plastic cylinder about the size of a quarter on the front or side of the mask) that is designed to facilitate easy exhaling is not a Face Covering under this Order and is not to be used to comply with this Order’s requirements. Valves of that type permit droplet release from the mask and can put others nearby at risk. A video showing how to make a Face Covering and additional information about how to select, wear, and clean Face Coverings may be found on the CDC’s website.
Gathering: more than one individual coming together or being physically near each other for any shared and common purpose, including socializing or participating in any activity together including but not limited to shopping, dining, or exercising. A gathering does not include employees of any business while performing work for that business or any classroom learning activity explicitly permitted by the University of Colorado. Members of the same household while in their shared household space (e.g. a dorm room) together are not considered a gathering.
Household: the residential unit where an individual resides.
- One household: Single family house, apartment, or similar housing occupied by 4 or fewer unrelated people
- Multiple households within one house: On-campus residence halls (dormitories) and off-campus congregate housing (e.g. sorority and fraternity houses) with more than 4 unrelated occupants will likely have multiple households (roommates).
Stay-at-Home Resident: a person who resides at an identified property.
Social Distancing:
- Maintaining at least six-foot social distancing from other individuals
- Washing hands with soap and water for at least twenty seconds as frequently as possible or using hand sanitizer when hand-sinks are not available
- Covering coughs or sneezes (into the sleeve or elbow, not hands)
- Regularly cleaning high-touch surfaces
- Not shaking hands
