State Metrics Continue to Improve

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. March 11 was also the day the Wyoming Department of Health confirmed that an adult female from Sheridan County was the first case of COVID-19 in Wyoming. In a recent interview with Sheridan Media, Governor Mark Gordon reflected on the past year and discussed the future.

Governor Gordon said Wyoming was one of only a handful of states last year that held a state fair.

Late last week Governor Gordon and the Wyoming Department of Health announced the removal of a health order addressing operations of personal care services, along with a continued relaxing of COVID-19 protocols as Wyoming’s metrics continue to improve. The updated public health orders went into effect Monday.
