Wyoming will remove its statewide mask requirement and allow bars, restaurants, theaters and gyms to resume normal operations on March 16.

Twenty-three new deaths were confirmed by the Wyoming Department of Health on Monday.

Casper Mayor Steve Freel said the city has no authority to impose a mask mandate.

Nov. 1 also is the first day ending daylight saving time.

The extended hours for selling alcohol are for this weekend only.
