13 November 2020 A Message from Hot Springs County Health Officer Vernon Miller, M.D.
As everyone is probably aware, Wyoming is experiencing an unprecedented increase in cases of COVID-19. Over the last several weeks the Wyoming County Health Officers have been studying this and have asked Governor Gordon for a state mask mandate. The Wyoming Medical Society and Wyoming Hospital Association have joined in this request.
It is vital that we keep all our businesses and schools open and our activities attended. Increased use of face coverings will help with this going forward. This is one of the few weapons we have in the fight against this virus until we have an effective vaccine and more effective treatments.
Vernon W. Miller, M.D.
Please see the following letter to The Honorable Mark Gordon from the Wyoming County Health Officers, Wyoming Medical Society and the Wyoming Hospital Association
