"On Monday, we are going to talk about what to expect as the economy opens," Polis said in a coronavirus briefing on Friday. "As we move towards opening things, we have to be able to sustain the social distancing, and that means doing it in a different way because we want to make sure we don't exceed the hospital bed capacity."

He said he was optimistic about life returning to normal and the possibility of a cure or vaccine, even though that may be months away.
