Health order removed, masks still required

Governor Mark Gordon and the Wyoming Department of Health have announced the removal of a health order addressing operations of personal care services, along with a continued relaxing of COVID-19 protocols as Wyoming’s metrics continue to improve. 

The order mandating statewide use of masks is still in place.

As of Monday, March 1, Health Order No. 3, which addresses operations of barber shops, nail and hair salons, tattoo parlors and other personal care services was being eliminated completely.

Attendance limits for indoor and outdoor gatherings increased once again, and protocols for restaurant and theater operations will be adjusted.

Indoor gatherings that incorporate social distancing and face coverings are permitted for up to 25 percent of capacity or 1,000 persons, and outdoor gatherings of up to 2,000 persons.

In addition, sporting events and artistic performances will see participation limits eased. 

Four Wyoming counties have now received variances from statewide requirements in response to local conditions. The changes are in effect from March 1-15. A fact sheet explaining the most recent update and the updated orders are attached. They can also be found on Wyoming’s COVID-19 website.
