Health Department

The Casper-Natrona County Health Department is hosting its very first 'Pap-a-Thon' on Saturday, January 28.

At their bi-weekly work session, Casper City Council decided to not approve a request by the Casper-Natrona County Health Department to increase their funding from $540,000 to $650,000.

The health department asks for the public's cooperation to stay off of roads as much as possible to allow emergency crews to work.

"When it comes your time to get [the vaccine], I'm calling on you to get it. Do the right thing. Get it. Save your family and friends. Make it easier for society to open up. Save our businesses. Keep everybody healthier."

The ads are appearing on electronic billboards around the city, as well as on social media.

Tuesday's shots were the first of two doses. The second will be administered three weeks later.

13 new deaths have been confirmed by the Wyoming Department of Health, leaving the total number of Wyoming deaths at 215. Of these deaths, 46 have occurred in Natrona County.

In accordance with the CDC's guidelines, positive cases over six days past test collection will no longer be contract traced. According to the CNCHD, this puts more emphasis on timeliness, putting more focus on newer cases. This is being done with the hope that it will limit and slow COVID-19 transmission.
