“When the mask mandates crumbled, Marvin Williams was more than happy to remove the “masks required” sign from the front door of Abrusci’s Fire & Vine, the Italian restaurant he manages in Lakewood. He tore it down as soon as Gov. Jared Polis made the state’s intention clear Friday — only to put it back up until the official word came from Jefferson County’s health department Saturday night.
“Some of my staff were ripping their mask off like it was a Band-Aid,” Williams said. “This is a real step toward normal.”
Mask signs came down quickly at many metro Denver restaurants, stores, gyms and other businesses — but they’re still up, and very much in force, at other places, including some major grocery store chains. Recent days have revealed a hodgepodge of policies that require customers at King Soopers and Safeway stores to wear masks inside, even as they might be able to take them off inside a liquor store, Starbucks coffee shop or restaurant in the same shopping center. Uber and Lyft still require drivers and passengers to wear masks during rides.”
