Dozens of COVID-19 testing sites closed due to incoming winter storm
DENVER — The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) announced that dozens of state-run COVID-19 testing sites are closing this weekend due to the incoming winter storm that is expected to dump over a foot of snow on Denver.
In a news release, CDPHE said the closures are also in place to discourage people from driving in the snow.
"It’s critical that we let our state’s snow crews do their work to keep roads clear for our emergency and essential workers," Gov. Polis said in a March 11 press conference.
CDPHE has also asked COVID-19 vaccine providers to notify patients by Friday if their vaccine appointments for Saturday or Sunday have been canceled.
"Individuals who have scheduled an appointment but cannot make it due to adverse weather should call their provider with as much advance notice as possible to reschedule," CDPHE officials wrote in a press release. "We also are requiring providers to accommodate those requests and reschedule appointments so they can occur as soon as possible."
