Here are the top stories in Denver today: Those who are hoping to once again experience the Denver Center for the Performing Arts need to follow COVID-19 guidelines, which include proof of vaccination. If you don't have proof, you'll have to fill out an exemption form and get tested for COVID-19 before entering the center.

(Westword) Around 9.7 percent of Americans ages 18 and older say they will either probably or definitely not get the COVID-19 vaccination, a new survey shows. In Colorado, an estimated 468,800 adults, or 10.5 percent, say they will likely refuse the vaccine.
