JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. – Teton District Health Officer Travis Riddell today announced the countywide mask mandate has been rescinded as of noon.
Public Health Order #21-3, requiring individuals in Teton County, Wyoming to wear face coverings in certain places, was rescinded today, May 7, 2021, at noon. The 26th continuation of Statewide Health Order 1 will remain in place through May 16, 2021 and requires mask usage while on K-12 school or college property.
“It is important to remember that many people in our community are still susceptible to COVID-19. This includes children younger than 16 years old, people who are immunocompromised, and those who are not yet fully vaccinated,” Riddell said.
Teton County Health Department is encouraging community members to follow the CDC’s latest guidance on when to wear masks. It is recommended that even fully vaccinated individuals continue to wear masks when inside public places or in crowded outdoor settings, such as performances, parades, or sports events.
Local businesses, organizations, and event planners may develop their own policies for their staff and customers, as long as accommodations can be made for those requiring exemptions.
The COVID-19 vaccine will continue to be available in Teton County for anyone 16 and older. To book an appointment or to see when the clinic is open.
