By DAVID MARTIN Publisher

Wyoming’s pandemic restrictions will be lifted March 16 according to an announce- ment from Gov. Mark Gordon’s offi ce. The statewide mask requirement will be removed, as well as allowing bars, restau- rants, theaters and gyms to operate nor- mally. “I thank the people of Wyoming for their commitment to keeping one another safe throughout this pandemic,” Gordon said. “It is through their efforts that we have kept our schools and businesses operating and our economy moving forward. I ask all Wy- oming citizens to continue to take personal responsibility for their actions and stay diligent as we look ahead to the warmer months and to the safe resumption of our traditional spring and summer activities.” The move refl ects growing confi dence in both the vaccination system enacted by the state, as well as continued downward trends in COVID-19 infections and hospi- talizations.
