The Denver City Council has extended the city's COVID-19 emergency declaration until July 20.

The state of emergency, which Mayor Michael Hancock first enacted on March 12, will keep city coffers open for federal relief money and continue to put urgent needs like homeless shelters, small business relief and personal protective equipment on a fast-track.

Denver's current emergency declaration expired on June 15.
