COVID Update
The Wyoming Department of Health reported 15 new COVID-19 cases in Sublette County this week. WDH also announced another death of a Sublette County resident this week. Public Health sends our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. There are currently 3 active cases in Sublette County, with 1,879 recoveries and 27 deaths, for a total of 1,909 cases since the pandemic began.
Sublette County moved down to the Orange or Moderate-High Transmission Zone for community spread reflecting the decrease in case counts in the past two weeks (February 3 - 16). Most of the state is still in the red/high transmission rate, although 4 counties have moved down to the green zones.
We are not hosting a video update today but please join us next Friday, February 25th for an update. We will be discussing some of the new therapeutic treatments becoming available locally to treat COVID-19 infections.
