Polis's office has not stated yet what the major topics of the address will be, but there is some speculation that the governor will extend the statewide stay-at-home order, which is set to expire on Saturday.

"We know this is a very severe step of stay at home ... so we use the best science and data we have to target this most radical thing -- people staying home -- to be the minimal length and to be timed during the optimal time to reduce the spread," Polis told CBS4 Political Specialist Shaun Boyd last week.
