The October 10, 1918 Colorado Transcript announced a series of public health regulations to guard against the Spanish Influenza epidemic.
In Golden all places of public gathering and all loitering places have been closed tight. This includes the moving picture show, schools, churches, dances, parties, lodges and gathering of any kind. Pool rooms and card rooms are not permitted to operate, and loafing will not be permitted in any cigar store or in other places where people have been wont to congregate.
Soda fountains will not be permitted to operate, as it was claimed by physicians that the disease can be communicated by means of the glasses and spoons used.
