The Denver Post: The lightning-fast spread of COVID-19’s omicron variant pushed the Denver City Council on Tuesday to shut down all in-person meetings until further notice.

All members of the public seeking to tune into meetings or speak during open comment periods and public hearings are being advised to visit denvergov.org/CouncilPublicInput, according to a news release. There, city staff members have provided links that can be used to view committee and regular council meetings as well as sign-up links for people seeking to speak during those meetings.

The announcement comes after a hybrid in-person and online council meeting on Monday night during which Councilwoman Amanda Sawyer appeared via Zoom video call because she said she was home sick with COVID-19.
