The state is not offering a religious exemption to hospital and nursing home workers who risk losing their jobs if they are not vaccinated.

The Fremont County Sheriff joined another county on Thursday when he said that he will not enforce Gov. Mark Gordon's new face covering mandate to slow the spread of COVID-19. Sheriff Ryan Lee said that Fremont County has been following public health guidelines since March, and it is aware of what people can do to minimize the spread of the disease in communities and families...

'My night shift is getting hit the hardest. They only get two hours right now, when they’re used to a six-hour shift. And now, if we close at 10 p.m., they’re working from like, 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., and they’re not going to make any money.'

The delegation expressed special concern for the most vulnerable people, and wearing masks can slow the spread from people who may be infected.

There are multiple exceptions to the order, including for those with medical conditions who would have trouble breathing if they wore a face covering.

Hutchinson had resisted calls for a mask mandate but allowed cities to require them.
