Every year the US Census Bureau puts out a list of Halloween facts based on data that they've collected. This year, our very own Casper, Wyoming made the list.
The Wyoming Department of Health reported 529 new cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, bringing the statewide total to 31,047. 63 new cases were reported for Natrona County, leaving the current number of active cases in Natrona County at 1,195.
“It became a case of ‘Could we do this?’ Well, I knew we could. Then, it was a quick phone call to my wife, and I asked her, ‘Should we do this?’ And she said ‘Yes, we should.’ So, would we do this? Yes, we will.”
The Wyoming Department of Health reported 577 new cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, bringing the statewide total to 29,966. 55 new cases were reported for Natrona County, leaving the current number of active cases in Natrona County at 1,326.
This year, Jennie Gordon is partnering with Natrona County Law Enforcement as part of the First Lady’s Wyoming Hunger Initiative. With this partnership, not only will these children receive presents – they will also each receive a food basket as well.
“We’ve got to deliver it from the factory door to the frontline workers. And I agree with the Centers for Disease Control – that we need to get it to the doctors, the nurses, those who are actually taking care of patients. But also the essential workers, those who are most vulnerable, the elderly, people who have medical conditions. And I will tell you, it looks like there’s going to be delivery by December 11th.”
"I used to always claim that I didn’t care to have a family and that I could never trust to have another one again, but one day, out of the blue, I remember describing you guys as my family. That’s when it hit me. I found my family."
In accordance with the CDC's guidelines, positive cases over six days past test collection will no longer be contract traced. According to the CNCHD, this puts more emphasis on timeliness, putting more focus on newer cases. This is being done with the hope that it will limit and slow COVID-19 transmission.
