COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that first appeared in Wuhan, China in late 2019. This new strain of coronavirus began popping up in the United States in February.
On Monday, Gov. Jared Polis said bars and restaurants across the state will offer takeout and delivery only for 30 days and larger gathering places like gyms, theaters and casinos, will close to combat the spread of COVID-19.
That was on top of other recent closures that included dozens of school districts and all of the ski resorts in Colorado.
Here are free online fitness and yoga videos to help maintain health and wellness while at home.
