face masks

The Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department on Tuesday said the county last week recorded over 800 new COVID-19 cases.

The bill would allow parents to get waivers from school face mask and vaccination mandates for their children attending K-12 Wyoming public schools if they ask for them.

We thought this might be an appropriate time to ask about the biggest issues facing local schools.

The Centers For Disease Control this week recommended that even people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 wear masks indoors in areas where there are high transmission rates.

The Natrona County Health Officer added that vaccinations are ongoing for medical workers who are being exposed to COVID on a regular basis.

The chief says his department has been getting a lot of questions about the face mask issue.

The move counters Gov. Kristi Noem, who has repeatedly cast doubt on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to wear face coverings in public.

With back to school happening next week, Kelly Walsh High School released a statement about the upcoming season of sporting events.

Wearing a face mask for me during the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't really been a big deal. As a kid, I wore face masks all the time... for fun!

The Democrat Evers declared a new public health emergency Thursday, after his initial one expired in May, and ordered the wearing of masks starting on Saturday.
