Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, in a recent social media post about the movement to have Weld County leave Colorado and join Wyoming said ''Hands Off Weld County."

Advocates of the move say Colorado leaders have forgotten the needs of rural Coloradans in favor of the metropolitan front range.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises anyone who has been in close contact with a COVID-19 patient to quarantine for two weeks.

So far, there are no known cases of the respiratory illness in Wyoming, though Gov. Mark Gordon says the state is preparing.
