Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon on Wednesday honored those on the frontlines of the pandemic with two proclamations.

Wyoming First Lady Jennie Gordon has tested positive for COVID-19, the governor's office announced Thursday afternoon.

The funding may be used to provide no-cost services for Wyoming residents experiencing behavioral health challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under the new orders, indoor and outdoor gatherings will be limited to 25 people or fewer without restrictions.

The announcement came minutes before Gordon is scheduled to address reporters at 4 p.m. Monday afternoon.

Gordon said that health professionals have advised him that Wyoming could see as much as 3,000 new virus cases in the near future.

Harrist said the lack of outbreaks in Wyoming's school is proof that wearing face masks works.

The governor praised the mask-making programs for teaching inmates good work habits and new job skills.

Wyoming has used CARES Act money to purchase 75,000 at-home COVID-19 tests for its residents, Gov. Mark Gordon announced Wednesday.

Earlier this week, Wyoming set a new high for coronavirus hospitalizations at 47.
