While you are starting to hear of major corporations like Target, Costco, and Starbucks drop the mask requirements within their stores for fully vaccinated employees and customers some Colorado business owners are going in the other direction. It was LEX 18, that gave us the heads up about Bar Max here in Colorado that is requesting proof of vaccine from customers and employees if they want to remove their masks and dine indoors.

The COVID-19 vaccine passport has not been accepted across the country. But the owner of Bar Max feels like if customers and employees want to remove their masks inside his bar, they need to show proof of being fully vaccinated. He feels like making this move is only going to keep other patrons safe and healthy.

The owner believes that policies like this will help get businesses like his back to normal as quickly as possible.
