Wyoming’s new amended state health orders are in effect and run through May 15, 2020.

Sheridan County Health Officer, Dr. Ian Hunter, and Sheridan County Public Health are currently applying for two separate variances through the state health department. One variance would allow for modified outdoor seating and dining for Sheridan County restaurants and bars, and the other variance would allow for modified church services.

If approved, the variances will likely go into effect sometime next week. More information and specifics regarding the variances will be provided as they become available.

Sheridan County residents and business owners should continue to follow the amended state health orders until any local variance or variances are approved and officially go into effect.
