SMH still requires masks despite regulations being lifted elsewhere

Although the statewide mask mandate has been lifted, use of masks or face coverings is still required while visiting Sheridan Memorial Hospital.  

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon removed the Cowboy State’s mask requirement and allowed bars, restaurants, theaters and gyms to resume normal operations on March 16. 

The decision by Gordon was done only after discussions with the Wyoming Department of Health and reflected the state’s continually improving health metrics. The removal of the mandate was consistent with the Governor’s approach of balancing public health with protecting livelihoods.

But mandates are still in effect in a few buildings around Sheridan County. One of those buildings is Sheridan Memorial Hospital.
