The Wyoming Department of Health is actively responding to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Disease symptoms, which may appear 2 to 14 days after virus exposure, include fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and new loss of taste or smell.
While most people will likely not experience serious illness related to COVID-19, older residents and people with certain health conditions have a higher risk of developing more serious or life-threatening complications.
Wyoming residents should follow our recommendations to help avoid becoming ill and to help avoid spreading COVID-19 in our communities.
Let’s help keep each other safe!
Recommendations
- Follow current public health orders.
- Follow advice from CDC on what to do if you think you may be sick.
- Stay home when sick and avoid contact with other people unless you need medical attention.
- Follow common-sense steps such as washing your hands often and well; covering your coughs and sneezes; and cleaning and disinfecting.
- Wear cloth face coverings in public settings where social distancing is difficult to maintain.
- Nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other healthcare facilities should follow guidelines for infection control and prevention.
- Older people and those with health conditions that mean they have a higher chance of getting seriously ill should avoid close-contact situations.
