Teton County Health Department says as of last Wednesday, Teton County, Wyoming has moved into the “High” Community Level again for COVID-19 according to the CDC. This increase from the ”Medium” Community Level is a result of new hospital admissions and an increase in confirmed COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population over the previous 7 days.
Since June 1st, St. John’s Health has admitted six patients with COVID-19 and transferred two such patients to higher levels of care. Teton District Health Officer, Dr. Travis Riddell is encouraging the community to wear a mask in public, indoor settings while we remain in the “High” Community Level. He adds that compared with the past when the county had high COVID caseloads, Teton County is currently one of the most vaccinated communities.
The health department reminds residents to stay home when they are sick, and to test. Testing is the only way to ensure you do not have COVID-19. In partnership with the Wyoming Department of Health, Curative and the Teton County Health Department, all residents, workers and visitors in Teton County, Wyoming, can receive a no-cost, shallow nasal, COVID-19 test.
