Colo. Gov. Polis says COVID-19 emergency ‘is over’ | Eastern NC Now

After he was cut off by the interviewer, in a rare turn of events for a governor in a blue state, Polis stressed mask mandates aren’t needed and highlighted that it’s each individual’s responsibility to take care of their health.

“I think it’s great to wear a mask indoors around others, but when you’re not in an emergency situation…public health would say always wear a mask. Say it always decreases flu and decreases anything, but that’s not something that you require,” said Polis. “You don’t tell people what to wear. You don’t tell people to wear a jacket when they go out in the winter or force them to. If they get frostbite, it’s their own darn fault.”
