Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Friday November 6th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Every week day we’re sharing a closer look at one of our top stories. Today we’re focused on rising cases of COVID-19 in Colorado, and Governor Jared Polis’s advice to the public.

 

Before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:

 

Today, we take you back to November 6th, 1994 when a pair of polar bears named Klondike and Snow were born at the Denver Zoo. The event was a media sensation and unprecedented numbers of visitors came to see them.

 

Now, our feature story. 

 

As more and more Covid-19 cases are being identified in Colorado, Governor Jared Polis is calling for an intervention.

 

Colorado Sun reporter Jesse Paul is joining us today to talk more about the state’s response after speaking with Polis during a briefing with reporters on Thursday.

 

First, here’s a recent statement from Dr. Rachel Herlihy - Colorado's top epidemiologist.

 

Thanks for listening. Finally, here are a few stories that you should know about today:

 

The tightest statewide race of the 2020 election in Colorado was about wolves. As counties meticulously counted dense ballots on Wednesday, Proposition 114 remained close, hovering, at points, within hundreds of votes of an automatic recount. 

 

-

Amid this pandemic, small business owners have been struggling. With less foot traffic and restrictions regarding how businesses can operate during this time, many small businesses are being forced to make tough decisions to weather this storm. 

 

-

Democratic state lawmakers boosted their majority in the state Senate by one seat and maintained their strong numbers in the House after balloting ended Tuesday.
