Dental or Medical Services
General Services
For general medical services, check with your doctor’s office to see if they provide remote appointments (telehealth). Many offices and area medical groups offer remote visits which allow you to visit with a medical professional from the comfort of your home. This reduces your risk of contracting COVID-19.
Sick with COVID-19?
If you think you are ill with COVID-19, call your doctor immediately for screening.
Support Local Businesses and Places of Worship
The measures to slow the spread of COVID-19 are impacting our business community. If you’re able, consider purchasing food-to-go from Wyoming businesses. Many locations also offer gift cards that help with the immediate needs of our business community.
We've created helpful tips for places of worship that wish to provide worship services, review them on our coronavirus and places of worship page.
