Since Sunday, June 28th, Lincoln County has seen five more positive cases of COVID-19. This represents a forty-five percent increase in coronavirus cases for Lincoln County in the past two days. Currently, Wyoming is seeing a surge in the virus with twenty-five percent of Wyoming’s total number of lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 identified in the past two weeks. Nationwide, positive case continue to rise across many states including Idaho, Utah and Montana. In Governor Gordon’s press release today he emphasized the need to stay diligent with mitigation efforts. “It is clear from the recent increase in cases statewide that the dual threat of COVID-19 to both the health of our citizens and the health of our economy is not going away,” Governor Gordon said. “No one wants to see the progress we have made vanish, but that requires each of us to make a concerted effort to slow the spread of the virus. It is really simple and depends on everyone practicing good hygiene, social distancing and doing their best to wear a mask in public where social distancing isn’t possible. It’s the way you and our economy will both stay healthy.”
