Governor Mark Gordon

The governor on Monday announced that the state's current coronavirus restrictions will remain in place through at least July 15 in light of a surge in new cases.

It will be up to individual long-term care facilities to allow, or not allow, visitors.

The next step in Gordon's plan calls for state agency directors to identify programs for elimination by July 1, likely resulting in state employees losing their jobs.

Sidney Walton is one of America's oldest WWII veterans.

In a subsequent statement Thursday, Gordon again clarified that the rodeos were not cancelled due to a state order.

It was one of six rodeo events that were cancelled throughout the state.

The governor is slated to discuss the status of large Wyoming summer events on Wednesday afternoon at 3.

The order remains in effect until sundown on Sunday.

Gordon noted that Natrona County Health Officer Dr. Mark Dowell implored the county's residents Tuesday to practice social distancing and wear face coverings.

Childcare centers will be allowed to have up to 25 individuals in a classroom.

Peace Officers Memorial Day is set aside to honor local, state, and federal law enforcement officers who have been disabled or killed in the line of duty.

The governor's post says ''Wyoming counties and our public health laboratory currently have adequate supplies to expand COVID-19 testing.''
