Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon

The 2022 legisative session is slated to wrap up on Friday.

Wyoming will remove its statewide mask requirement and allow bars, restaurants, theaters and gyms to resume normal operations on March 16.

Attendance limits for indoor and outdoor gatherings will increase starting Monday, Feb. 15, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon announced Thursday.

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

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.

Governor's officials say all attendees took precautions including wearing masks for the length of the meeting.

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