Join your colleagues and Fremont County Health Officer and Emergency Room Physician Brian Gee, MD for a question and answer session around latest news and updates in response to COVID-19.
Alexia Harrist, MD, PhD, State Epidemiologist and State Health Officer released a Health Alert Notice (HAN) on March 28, 2020. Clarifying guidance to the 3/28/20 HAN was released today and distributed through the state's WARN system. Click below for that document.
Through several health alert notices previously sent to Wyoming’s healthcare providers, WDH has described its testing priorities:
Hospitalized patients (including hospitalized patients being tested prior to discharge to a long-term care facility)
Patients or staff in communal settings such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities or shelters
Healthcare workers and first responders who provide direct patient care
People over 65 or with underlying health conditions that put them at risk for severe illness
People who have close contact with people who are over 65 or who have underlying health conditions
On behalf of the Unified Command for Wyoming COVID-19 Response and the Policy Group, we are providing the following new guidance for PPE distribution effective March 31, 2020.
The medical society understands how financially stressful this pandemic situation is for our members and doctors around the state. In an effort to respond to this, we are compiling information from a variety of sources and will be sending out a full financial assistance email tomorrow (4/3).
