> More than 65 Loveland-based companies have signed a pact to stay open for business as Larimer County moves to Level Red restrictions. Level Red on the state’s COVID-19 dial is one step away from Level Purple, a complete shutdown, and restricts restaurants from having any indoor dining or guests.
> The businesses that joined the agreement believed the county and state are imposing restrictions which are unfair and unnecessary to small businesses.
> “We are not going to shut down,” said Clay Caldwell, owner of Betta Gumbo in downtown Loveland.
> Caldwell, who has used his business and kitchen to feed thousands of meals free-of-charge amid the coronavirus pandemic, said he joined the pact because the government was allegedly placing much blame on small businesses which may not have any record of COVID-19 spread.
