SHERIDAN — Gov. Mark Gordon is continuing to discourage out-of-state visitation in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. In a press briefing Wednesday afternoon, the governor announced an extension of the self-quarantine directive and the reopening of state campgrounds to Wyoming residents only.

The self-quarantine directive, now extended through May 8, requires any individual coming to Wyoming from another state or country for non-work-related reasons to immediately self-quarantine for 14 days. For visits fewer than 14 days, that individual must self-quarantine for the duration of the visit. View the directive here. 

State park campgrounds will be reopened on May 15 to Wyoming residents. Special guidelines for campers will be announced. Currently, the closure of developed campgrounds in the Rocky Mountain Region for the national forests is through the end of May.

In addition, the press briefing clarified Tuesday's announcement easing coronavirus restrictions, including the option for gyms, barber shops, hair salons and other personal care services to reopen starting Friday.
