All: I have had some recent questions about the Governor ‘s lifting of the statewide mask mandate https://governor.wyo.gov/media/news-releases/2021-news-releases/governor-gordon-announces-removal-of-statewide-mask-requirement-lifts-all and the CDC’s latest guidance https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0308-vaccinated-guidelines.html which provides information for fully vaccinated individuals and recommendations regarding their interactions with other people who are fully vaccinated and those who are not.
While the Governor’s updated directives and the CDC’s new guidance are positive steps, the CDC cautions that the vast majority of people need to be fully vaccinated before COVID-19 precautions can be lifted broadly. Their recommendation is that everyone should “continue with all mitigation measures when in public settings to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and protect the large number of people who remain unvaccinated”.
At this time, please continue following our current employee COVID 19 protocols and daily COVID 19 health screening (see attached document). The protocols can be found on the My NWC portal under COVID-19 Planning. The NWC Incident Command Team is reviewing the latest guidance and recommendations as we plan for the summer and fall.
Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Jill
