As confirmed cases of COVID-19 Coronavirus increase around the country, various states are employing more ways to provide treatment for infected residents. In Wyoming, Governor Mark Gordon told the media in a briefing Wednesday that some doctors are being called out of retirement to augment the medical professionals currently available.
Gordon said, “The Wyoming Board of Medicine is working to speed reactivation of licenses held by retired Wyoming physicians and physician assistants, who want to be of help at this incredible time of need. We are also seeing increased utilization of telehealth thanks to collaborative statewide efforts. In the past month, the Wyoming telehealth network went from 500 telehealth licenses to 3000.”
The governor also said, that this has allowed healthcare providers to provide services to patients in their homes, preventing them from being exposed or exposing the healthcare workers to potential illness.
