By News Channel NebraskaDENVER (AP) — Denver officials are urging residents to stay home between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. in an effort to stem the tide of coronavirus cases, which could overwhelm area hospitals by the end of the year.
Mayor Michael Hancock says the “Home by 10 Order,” which will last for at least 30 days, is necessary to avoid another citywide stay-at-home order. He also urged residents not to gather or mix with other households.
Hancock shied away from calling the order a curfew because he said enforcement would only target the most egregious violations, not, for instance, someone walking their dog past 10 p.m.
