Friday's report comes exactly one month after the Board of Trustees enacted a mask mandate requiring students and staff to mask up when the county is at substantial or high risk for community transmission, as designated through the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department.
Should the county, which is currently high risk, drop to moderate or low risk, masks would be recommended indoors, but not required.
