County commission will meet in-person starting Monday, masks not required

As with all things in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Teton County Board of County Commissioners’ in-person presence in their meeting chambers has ebbed and flowed. On Monday, that flow will continue when the board convenes in-person for its regularly-scheduled voucher meeting. Commission Chair Natalia D. Macker said the commission plans to do so going forward. “It does not have an end date at this point,” she said of the in-person plans. The county commission has been meeting virtually for months because of the COVID-19 pandemic, holding court over Zoom. It recently moved to a hybrid model, with some budget meetings being held in-person. Commissioners have, however, dialed in virtually at times.

Masks move from matter of government to one of personal responsibility

County mask mandate, state health orders renewed

Those announcements came this week from the Teton County Health Department and the Wyoming Department of Health. One state order relates to mask and social distancing requirements at educational institutions. The other limits indoor events of more than 500 people to 50% of venue capacity. Teton County’s mask order applies to customers and employees of businesses. Teton District Health Officer Dr. Travis Riddell told the Jackson Hole Daily he felt the order should stay in effect because COVID-19 is still active, variants are being transmitted in Wyoming and vaccination levels do not yet confer communitywide protection. “If you look at our neighbors you might think we were being a little bit more conservative,” Riddell said. “But I think if you look at the country as a whole and certainly the world as a whole, then I think we’re right where we should be.”
