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 Countyâs 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.
âIf you look at our neighbors you might think we were being a little bit more conservative,â Riddell said. âBut I think if you look at the country as a whole and certainly the world as a whole, then I think weâre right where we should be.â
