Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon

Balow outlined the guidelines for Wyoming schools to reopen, asking each district to submit a plan for the upcoming school year.

Gov. Mark Gordon announced Wednesday that Wyoming has joined the Dakotas in making available a free mobile app designed to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.

The governor said that while he supports the right to protest ''It is my hope and desire that we do not see additional infections and cases of COVID-19 in Wyoming due to the recent protests.''

According to numbers released Wednesday by the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department, there are no active COVID-19 cases in the county.

The closures are expected to save the state a little over $197,000 from June 15 through Sept. 30.

The decision is expected to cut about 200 jobs from the company's Cheyenne workforce over the next year to year-and-a-half.

The statement says ''As Governor, I support the choice made by these committees and stand with them in the enormously difficult decision that they had to make. Their courage is uncommon, and that in and of itself, is Wyoming."

The governor urged Wyoming residents to remain vigilant.

The governor signed three bills passed by the Wyoming Legislature in a two-day special session last week.

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