'At the end of the day,' Freeman said Thursday, 'all we're doing is putting guidelines out. We're not telling businesses they have to open or anything like that.'

Weld County, Colorado commissioners have released a set of guidelines called"Safer at Work" that are designed to help any business within the county that chooses to open its doors do so safely. However, the county's guidelines contradict the state of Colorado's newest mitigation measures, which call for some businesses to remain closed.

"This is not a free-for-all," Polis said at a Wednesday news conference."This is not an excuse to turn this into some kind of a vacation. It's a pandemic." While Freeman stated in a Thursday interview with radio station KFKA that businesses should reopen gradually and responsibly, he emphasized that the county was allowing"businesses all across the board" to reopen if they choose to do so.
