At this time there are 26 reported Wyoming cases.
The Wyoming Department of Health is closely monitoring the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.
The symptoms reported with this disease are familiar to all of us: fever, cough and shortness of breath. However, this is a continually changing situation.
While most people will likely not experience serious illness related to COVID-19, our highest level of concern involves older residents and people with certain health conditions that put them at higher risk of developing a serious or life-threatening illness.
Wyoming residents should follow our recommendations meant to help them avoid becoming ill and to help them avoid spreading COVID-19 to those who are most vulnerable.
We should all work together to help keep our friends and neighbors safe!
Recommendations
- Stay home when sick and avoid contact with other people unless you need medical attention.
- Follow advice from CDC on what to do if you think you may be sick.
- Follow common-sense steps such as washing your hands often and well; covering your coughs and sneezes; and cleaning and disinfecting.
- Nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other healthcare facilities should closely 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.
- Follow current social distancing guidelines.
