Wyoming Department of Health and Sublette County Public Health are following up to monitor and learn more about these persons’ exposure risk and identify and communicate with anyone who may have been in close contact with these patients. Known contacts will be asked to quarantine and to monitored for symptoms and tested if needed.
All the cases reported in Sublette County (to this date) have been able to identify a risk factor—through domestic travel, close contact to a known positive, or close contact with someone that has been ill. There is no evidence of community spread at this time.
Health officials say they are expecting to see an increase in the number of positive cases in Sublette County as we test close contacts to these new positive cases and with the recent community activities over the past few weekends.
