The Wyoming Department of Health is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Disease symptoms, which may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure, include fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and new loss of taste or smell. Older people and those with certain health conditions have a higher risk of serious illness.
Experts believe COVID-19 spreads from person-to-person mainly through close contact. People without symptoms may spread the virus.
Recommendations
- Follow public health orders.
- Stay home when sick and avoid other people unless you need medical attention.
- Wear cloth face masks in public settings, especially when physical distancing of at least 6 feet isn’t practical.
- People with a higher chance of getting seriously ill should avoid close-contact situations.
- Long-term care and healthcare facilities should follow infection control and prevention guidelines.
