COVID-19 Community Information

Provided by Weston County Public Health

and Weston County Emergency Management
 
• People or businesses who have N95 masks that they would like to donate to front line agencies may bring these masks to the Emergency Management Office at the courthouse.
• N95 masks need to be fit-tested; wearing a mask that is not fit-tested is useless and only provides a false sense of protection. Fit-testing can be coordinated through the Emergency Management Office.
• The most important things people can do right now: stay home, monitor themselves for symptoms, rest, and stay hydrated.
• Remember that small actions can have a big impact: carrying a pen for your own use instead of using those offered for public use at businesses and using a paper towel to turn off taps and open doors in public restrooms can reduce transmission of any illness.
• Please respect individuals who have chosen to selfquarantine, whatever their reason for doing so. If they have requested no visitors, please respect that choice.
• Please read and follow directions on any cleaning products you are using. Do not mix cleaning chemicals.
• Only share information from verified sources such as WHO, CDC, .gov websites, or Public Health.
• Our first responders are still here to help, but please avoid high-risk activities that increase your chance of injury or distress.
 
• For general information calls, please call during our business hours: 307-746-4775 ext0 (M-F 8am-5pm)
 
• For after-hours COVID-19-related EMERGENCY calls, please call 307-746-8020.
