Face Masks

A large portion of Casper residents have stated that they will not be requiring their kids to wear face masks at school this year.

Although Wyoming as a whole has eased up on the face mask mandates, with the emergence of the Delta variant, residents are curious what this will mean in the class room setting.

The Natrona County Health Officer added that vaccinations are ongoing for medical workers who are being exposed to COVID on a regular basis.

The 51-year old star of Ant-Man has a new public service announcement advising his "fellow millennials" to wear facial covering during the pandemic.

With back to school happening next week, Kelly Walsh High School released a statement about the upcoming season of sporting events.

With back to school coming soon across the nation, the subject of face masks with students is a big concern.

State Public Health Officer Dr. Alexia Harrist said face coverings are essential as people can transmit the virus to others before they feel or show any symptoms.

The COVID-19 safety measures have been somewhat annoying and caused a major change to everyone's normal way of life, as the saying goes, it can always be worse.
