Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon, at a recent news briefing to provide an update on the State’s ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic, said that they are closely monitoring the growing number of recorded cases of coronavirus in the State. Uinta County has been the main contributor to the spike in confirmed cases the last few weeks. State Health officials believe that young people not following social distancing guidelines while gathering at a bar or bars in Evanston on May 30 is how the outbreak originated. Governor Gordon was asked the question of whether they’ve looked at the possibility of reinstituting some of the restrictions that were put in place early on.

State Health Officer Dr. Alexia Harrist said that expanded testing isn’t the only factor in the rise in cases.
